Scientific paper

A simple mathematical model is proposed to study the effect of the average trend of a population on the opinion of each individual, when a group decision has to be made by voting. It is shown that if such effect is strong enough a transition to coherent behavior occurs, in which the whole population converges to a single opinion. This transition has the character of a first-order critical phenomenon.
