<p>We develop models for the spread of two opposing ideologies in a closed population based on epidemic models.  Based on different interaction rules, we study deterministic and stochastic models of the problem. The goal of our  work is to provide a tractable analytical framework for each situation, and to analyze the effect of different initial  conditions on the proportion of the population affiliated with each ideology after a large time interval.
