Stakeholders
Let’s assume that every deliberation starts when one person tries to solve a personal problem, and he finds that in order to solve his problem he may need the help of others, or may need to get their agreement. She needs to identify the stakeholders. The stakeholders may be people that may invest in the solution (investing stakeholders), or may need to agree (influenced stakeholders).
For instance, a Bedouin find that he lacks drinking water for his cattle. To solve this problem, he can call his neighbors and suggest that they will dig a well together, and take water for their cattle their common well. These neighbors will be the investing stakeholders. He may also find, that some other neighbors, have already dag a well, and they fear that if he will dig a new well, the water in their will dried out. These are the influenced stakeholders. The composition of investors and the influenced may vary with the change in solutions and interests and the level of trust.
Needs and Resources
Every stakeholder has several needs and some resources available for the common action, and they have to identify them in order to identify possible solutions that may address the needs.

Group thinking and Group polarization
Group thinking[1][2] is a state where the group's SON is unchallenged by criticism. It can be caused by group settings that inhibit any criticism on the group's SON, like excluding members that do not conform to the group's beliefs or denouncing refuting evidence as illusions, heresy or efforts of some other rival ideology to break the group ideology.
Group thinking will cause the group to become conservative, and under influence of perceived danger may cause group polarization. Extremism in social networks.
