Using interviews, the three-layer analysis model, behaviors, structures &mental ideas of each of them are used. It turned out &in the next step, an extra-comprehensible narrative was expressed &destructive vortices were described.Based on the research findings, malignant popularity, crude-selling mentality &the idea of ​​corruption are among the ideas that are in the hidden layers of the actors that should be considered & accordingly, policy proposals were presented.
