  The present study addresses control factors that emerge during the detachment of young people in the post-adolescent age that may delay or hinder the detachment process of the young adult. It aims to highlight that childhood upbringing, the child-parent relationship, and the communication that takes place between them allow the creation of a new type of typology in which not only parental control tools can be identified but also social control mechanisms can be identified. Most post-adolescence research traces the success or extent of detachment mostly to the financial situation of young people. This paper, however, aims to briefly demonstrate that a deeper understanding of the dimensions of detachment as conceived by László Vaskovics is possible through the study of attachments and bonds.

  The present study revolves around the concept of the Deleuzean machine. It undertakes to
  introduce the machine from Deleuze’s concept of the societies of control. Thus this paper is not
  a presentation of the critique of the Freudian and Lacanian notions of desire that the machine
  is introduced as a late capitalist abstract agent, but a genalogy of the machinic mechanism – as
  a logic of operation – is outlined from a new perspective. The emphasis of the study is not on
  psychoanalises and capitalism, and on schizoanalysis as a critique of them, but ont he operational
  logic of the societies of control: the articulation of controlling freedom. Fort he latter, concepcts
  such as territory, de- and reterritorialization, as well as the operating principles of cybernetic systems are shed light on. By examining this concept, therefore, the ways of understanding the
  social, economic and political processes of ourt time can be shed new light.

  The environmental crisis is an outstanding topic nowadays. Given that it is basically caused
  by human activity, this issue is worth examining at all levels of society. The present study
  investigated the individuals’ visual attentional patterns and the possible attentional biases related to pictures displaying environmental problems, in comparison to undisturbed nature
  and social scenes as control stimuli, within the framework of a reaction-time task. Changes
  in participants’ mood and their self-reported environmental awareness were also measured.
  However, only the negative social scenes resulted attentional bias, the environmental topics
  were not able to do that. Albeit the mood of the participants deteriorated during the experiment,
  it did not have any correlation with any other variables, and either did the environmental
  awareness. We displayed the stimuli during the task only for a short period of time, thereby we
  targeted to reach automatic attentional responses. Our results reflect to the fact, that the topic
  of the environmental crisis is not suitable to do this. This phenomenon propounds the demand of
  explanations behind this phenomenon (like the possible evolutionary background).
