Social life involves humans. Humans are emotion driven and illogical.

Your first premise is true.

Fortunately, your second premise is false. I am a human, but I am not necessarily emotion driven. Neither am I illogical.

Based on the premises of your argument, the conclusion would be that "Social life is emotion driven and illogical." This is false and invalid. That uses the major fallacy of Hasty Generalization.

If you are a programmer, use better logic in your applications.
