The correct answer is linguistic determinism.
Linguistic determinism is the idea that we as people are determined by the language we speak, meaning that our thoughts, perception, and memory are influenced by that particular language. In this case, when it comes to the speakers of the Brazilian Piraha language, they cannot state the exact number of nuts given that that word does not exist in their language (everything above 2 is considered to be <em>many</em>).

Let's take sea otters for an example, the sea otters keep the sea urchins in check so they don't eat all the kelp. When there was a massive decrease in sea otters due to orcas eating them, the kelp was disappearing and the sea urchins were growing in population.
