We investigate the collective behavior of a globalized society under the influence of endogenous mass media trends. The mass media trend is a global field corresponding to the statistical mode of the states of the agents in the system. The interaction dynamics is based on Axelrod's rules for the dissemination of culture. We find situations where the largest minority group, possessing a cultural state different from that of the predominant trend transmitted by the mass media, can grow to almost half of the size of the population. We show that this phenomenon occurs when a critical number of long-range connections are present in the underlying network of interactions. We have numerically characterized four phases on the space of parameters of the system: an ordered phase; a semi-ordered phase where almost half of the population consists of the largest minority in a state different from that of the mass media; a disordered phase; and a chimera-like phase where one large domain coexists with many very small domains.
我们研究了在内在大众媒体趋势影响下全球化社会的集体行为。大众媒体趋势是一个与系统中主体状态的统计模式相对应的全球场。相互作用动力学基于阿克塞尔罗德的文化传播规则。我们发现了这样的情况：最大的少数群体，拥有与大众媒体传播的主流趋势不同的文化状态，可以增长到接近人口的一半。我们表明，当基础相互作用网络中存在临界数量的远程连接时，就会出现这种现象。我们已经在系统参数空间上对四个阶段进行了数值特征描述：有序相；半有序相，其中几乎一半的人口由与大众媒体不同的最大少数群体组成；无序相；以及类奇异相，其中一个大域与许多非常小的域共存。
