Summary
The globalized world has been a period of rapid global change. Since the global population migration, an exchange of thoughts and feelings about things in a borderless world, social awareness at the local, national, and international levels (Damiani, 2018; Holmes, 2019; Reynolds et al, 2019), they allow individuals to recognize that their world is so broad that they can catch up with the changing conditions without the border of each country (Ait-Bouzid, 2020; Karakuş et al, 2017). The modern world is becoming more and more complicated by sharing awareness and allowing more opportunities to live together under different ideas, beliefs, cultures, and traditions through economic growth and changes in the physical environment. Concerning this borderless world, people in each country have the opportunity to recognize, learn, realize and participate in the change of the world in different dimensions. Human beings should be dependent on the world (Ait-Bouzid, 2020; Karakuş et al, 2017)
