The fact that human beings are open to learning and development due to their nature has enabled all kinds of differentiation and change movements in history to be realized by human hands. The development of humanity in the historical process has been named with many symbolic events as a reflection of the accumulation achieved up to that day. One of them is the process, which covers the last stage of today's world in terms of science, technology and social, and is expressed as society 5.0.
