  Personal space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Personal space is the region surrounding each person, or that area which a person considers his domain or territory.
The amount of space a being (person, plant, animal) needs falls into two categories, immediate individual physical space, and the space an individual considers theirs to live in (often called habitat).
Some train cars are women-only, to allow women to avoid men entering their personal space, providing privacy, and the possibility of groping them.

 The Personal is Political
In each instance we uncovered that "the personal is political," i.e., the experiences, feelings, and possibilities of our personal lives were not just a matter of personal preferences and choices but were limited, molded, and defined by the broader political and social setting.
They feel personal, and their details are personal, but their broad texture and character, and especially the limits within which these evolve, are largely systemic.
In essence, the most telling and instructive meaning of the "personal is political" was slowly turned upside down to mean that the political, the social, the economic, and the cultural derive from our personal choices.

 [No title]
These examples demonstrate that what is right for one person can be considered an absolute wrong for the other, which makes morality impossible to be defined as anything but a personal matter.
If morality was not a personal matter but a society's, then forcing the standards should cause no problem because the whole society would agree on what is moral.
Morality could be nothing but a personal matter also because when the society tries to label something as moral or immoral, there will always be complaints about it.

If you say religion is a personal matter—that it is whatever you personally define it to be—and therefore imply that you should be left alone to believe what you want, you begin to contradict yourself logically.
Therefore, while you may believe religion is a personal matter and therefore you think it should be kept to oneself, someone else is permitted(by your logic) to believe that it is a universal matter and consequently it should be talked about, discussed and thrust upon others.
But you simply cannot say that religion is personal and then make claims on other people—calling them to believe the things that you believe(that religion is personal) and act in the same ways you act.

 Subject Matter Jurisdiction
The fundamental function of the law of subject matter jurisdiction of court is, of course, to define the authority vested in judicial bodies and to delineate the authority which may be exercised by a certain class of courts or, alternatively, a single court within a defined class.
The differing subject matters of courts reflects the great variety of alternative criteria which could be used to refine the division of judicial powers among a series of separate and distinct tribunals.
Further, as the power of the court over the subject matter is a prerequisite to a valid judgment, and the court in the instant case had no jurisdiction over the subject matter, the judgment is void.

In his own publications, he was consistent in permitting officials to write, on the perhaps old-fashioned assumption that the reader is discerning enough to realize the inherent biases such writers may have.
As a publisher and editor, his primary concern has always been with editorial writing and the opinion section, and any interventions made in the newsroom were concerned with matters of factual accuracy, grammatical correctness, and fairness.
All newspapers are, to one extent or another, aware of the need to avoid biting the hand that feeds it, and a regrettable, but real part of this awareness is advocacy, from time to time, of the business or financial interests of the backers of a paper (or its owners).

Grades matter, of course, but "the most important thing to them is the rigor of the curriculum," he said.

 Is Religious Belief Really a Personal Matter?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
But if from this we will draw the conclusion that humans are, as it were, destined by some 'higher power' to be split into 'good' and 'evil' and must therefore 'naturally' remain so, then we can terminate the debate straight away.
