“…In the first stage, the person is passive and receptive, who lives in a certain geographical environment and meet their nutritional and shelter needs there. Compared to the first stage, the human being is the recipient in the second stage, where the interaction with the environment and active participation are seen (Salamone, 2004;Şahin, 2008;Erdoğan & Alemdar, 2011;Koschmann & McDonald, 2015;Trehub, 2015;Watson-Jones & Legare, 2016;Herdt) , 2017; Othes, 2017).…”
