In this Theory I will propose that Deliberation is built of of from several elements, in and is influenced by several fields of knowledge. The main field is epistemologybasic elements are epistemic elements: the way knowledge is built. Then come influences by the way communication is built and massages are transformed, further is the way participants react to information, and to psychological ques transformed through the network of communication, then how the brain process information in different statesand react to this information, and eventually, at the social level different socio-dynamics and socio-settings can influence deliberation. In this model I’ll suggest how these levels elements are constructed and how they interact. The foundation level will be the epistemic level, where knowledge is built and manipulated :
==The Epistemic Elements==
Deliberation is focused in bringing up optimized and agreed solutions to the needs of [[stakeholders]]. Therefore, deliberation should find out who are the stakeholders, and what are their needs, and what they try to achieve and the problems they address. ===NeedsStakeholders===Deliberation is Let’s assume that every deliberation starts, when one person tries to solve a costly mechanism personal problem. The he finds that in order to facilitate communal life. We will usually avoid equal deliberationsolve this problem, unless we have some he need that is not addressed by the current practices and laws our society currently holdscollaboration of others. The He may need their resources or agreement. Therefore, she needs to deliberate arises when identify the stakeholders. The stakeholders may be people that are interested in a society feels that there the solution, or may be influenced by the solution.===Common Goal===One of the first topics the stakeholders should address is a problem fulfilling some need or needs, and that collective action what is needed for addressing the needstheir common Goal. ThereforeWhat do they try to achieve together, if they want to put their resources into common action or in a deliberation we should try agreement, if they want not to be harmed by the common action? ===Needs and understand the Resources===Every stakeholder has several needs of and some resources available for the groupcommon action, and they have to identify them in order to identify possible solutions that may address them better. Understanding the needs help us find solutions for .===Conflicts of Interests===Also, the needs stakeholders may have conflict of all membersinterests, where one solution may help one or at list take all the needs into accountmore stakeholders, but have negative effect on other stakeholders.
===SONs and MONs ===
Every member of a group [[MON|has her own unique understanding and perceptions about the world]]. For every need the group will try address, every member has her own understanding on how to fulfill this need. If we will ask for solutions, the number of solutions and understanding of the problem will be very large. Therefore, when we try to solve a problem, we have to find ways to include all world views held by participants. We can try to do it by taking into account all various thoughts and understandings, but then we body of knowledge we will have to deal with, will be very big.
To solve this problem of overwhelming understandings, is to create a common field of knowledge. For [[Epistemology|epistemic reasons]], I will call it Social Objects Network or [[SON]] for the acronym. The process of creating SON, is critical for common decision-making. The group should create a SON in order to understand each other and estimate togther what will be the best options. The process of creating SON is done by critical thinking, challenging group previous consumptions etc.
Where disagreements do occur, the results of decision of the group may validate whose SON is more adapted, in due time. Therefore, deliberating citizens should develop tolerance to other people views and ideas. They should understand, that in due time, and as the experience of the group will grow, the knowledge will be more suitable for finding good solutions.
===Options===
When we try to fulfill a need, we have several options which we can follow to fulfill the need. The options are based on the theories we have on the SON or MON. Every option has also other implications, that can be caused if we will follow them. For instance, if we want to fulfil our need to drink, and we will choose the option of juice, we may solve the need, but one of the implications may be weight gain, due too much caloric value the juice contains.
