Raising the Need for Deliberation
The need to deliberate, usually results from the need to control. People need to control their life (Maslow-1). People who leave in a society, need to coordinate with others, in order to fulfill their need of control. If no body bother nobody else, and good social life exists, a calm deliberation will happen (based on curiosity-CFI). But if some ideas and actions will cause conflict between individuals or groups, a need to over come this conflict will arise. In militant societies, most members will prefer using force to solve the problem. But if force doesn't work, people will prefer to deliberate in order to find a solution to this problem. In more liberal societies, people will have the habit of solving conflicts by deliberation.
Therefore we may say that social conflict, which was put under check, may increase the need for deliberation.
Another reason for deliberation, is a common curiosity about shared unexplained phenomena. Such curiosity may be the cause of scientific deliberation.
Learning
Want for learning may increase, as a feeling of curiosity is induced to the participants, at the begging of the deliberation, or before any learning phase.
