SOCIAL VS. PERSONAL
I think that when separating the list, the things that fall on the social list were because you get to see them around the world, in our daily lives.  I defined "social" as something that is happening around your environment with the people around you and what they are doing.  On the other hand "personal" is more about who we are and what we like and don't like to see or experience in our personal space, I think it's more about our "taste" and maybe even personal beliefs.  

SOCIAL
When taking another look into my list, I have to say that somewhat I found myself a little bit confused because I think they were some aspects that could fall into the personal list or category too.  Overall I think the aspect that I did mention fall into SOCIAL because they were things happening in my environment around the world, in places we go.  For example, I would say smoking or another one could be child abuse and violence, those are things that are happening around the world that are NOT personal and not coming from myself but it involves all us as we are part of one world and society. 


SOCIAL ISSUES:
Looking at my list one of the aspects that bothers me the most is Child Abuse, I just don’t understand how people could do several things to an innocent kid.  Reading or watching the news is depressing nowadays, every new is about criminality, murders, violence and many other things that don’t make a positive advantage in our society.  Clearly by mentioning this, another aspect that affects me is Violence, these days we teach each other to learn not to get hit by anyone instead of teaching the violent person not to do it, and I know this sounds so "cliché" but what can I say it’s the truth in the world we live in.  Last but not least I would say that another aspect that affect me is to know people who Smoke, I mean it’s your life and I totally respect it but why would you do that to yourself, do you know how many diseases you could get and what you're doing to our environment.  After choosing these 3 issues from my Social List I did a little research on this topics and this what I found:
