Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely:  study a DeGroot-like opinion dynamics model in which agents may oppose other agents. As an underlying motivation, in our setup, agents want to adjust their opinions to match those of the agents of their ‘in-group’ and, in addition, they want to adjust their opinions to match the ‘inverse’ of those of the agents of their ‘out-group’. Our paradigm can account for persistent disagreement in connected societies as ll as bi- and multi-polarization. Outcomes depend upon network structure and the choice of deviation function modeling the mode of opposition beten agents. For a particular choice of deviation function, which  call soft opposition,  derive necessary and sufficient conditions for long-run polarization.  also consider social influence (who are the opinion leaders in the network?) as ll as the question of wisdom in our naive learning paradigm, finding that wisdom is difficult to attain when there exist sufficiently strong negative relations beten agents.11Earlier and more verbose working paper versions of this article can be found at http://arxiv.org/pdf/1306.3134 and the author’s personal bsite.
