Answer 1

research how tastes change with age.  such as liking a food that you used to hate, or listening to music that you used to would not listen to.  Why do these things change as you get older?

Answer 2

POLYGAMY IN THE U.S.

Answer 3

"Jim Crow" in the media is a good social study.

Jim Crow requires both whites and blacks to perform acts which demonstrate a superior-inferior dynamic.  Bus drivers in Montgomery Alabama were required to fill seats for white passengers from front to rear and colored passengers from rear to front.  When a white passenger boards the bus and all seats are filled, a colored person must stand and surrender their seat to the white passenger.  Rosa Parks' refusal required the bus driver to call police to arrest Mrs Parks for her failure to comply.  A colored person was required to step off the curb into the street to allow a white person to pass on the sidewalk.  It was considered an offence for a colored person to look a white person in the eye.  Colored servicemen returning from World War II were directed to surrender their train seats to accommodate German prisoners of war.  Jim Crow rates the lie spoken by a white person higher than the truth spoken by a colored person as in "To Kill A Mockingbird" or "In The Heat Of The Night".  



Jim Crow media has a problem with the truth in Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.'s demands for America to introspectively look at the domestic issues which some Black Americans and White Americans view differently.  Jim Crow media places a buzz word label of "inflammatory" or "incendiary" next to Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.'s name in an attempt to discredit Senator Obama for his association with Rev. Wright.  Senator Obama is relatively a "new kid on the block".  Reverend Wright has been preaching the same or a similar message for years.  This is an opportunistic ploy to undermine the potential of Senator Obama to become the next President of the United States of America.

Last semester I wrote a Field research paper on drugs and alcohol and it was fun. You can write your questions and head out on the field such as N/A meetings and other organizations that will allow you in to talk with the addicts and question them about their life as an recovering addict. my paper ended up to be 17 pages of a lot of great info.  good luck and have fun with it.

Answer 5

how about, "does the new man exist"- lots of previous studies, can use a range of methods. not a hard topic but you are able to    look at it very in-depth also you are able to take a range of theoretical perspectives depending on your own beliefs. finally you are able to look into a variety of issues such as who is really  responsible for the gender divide.

Answer 6

well I doubt you want to do something that's too in-depth.  You could easily do a study on how the perception of a normal family has changed from the 'nuclear family' (2 children, married parents) to a more diverse society.

On a similar note, a friend of mine interviewed her friends about marriage and how they felt about it to answer whether there is a place for it in society now.  

On the other hand, a big topic would be class structures and the gap between the rich and poor widening.  

There's plenty of scope to answer all of these things!!! Good luck.

I'd look to L.L. Constantine, or Floyd Martinson, or James Prescott. They have some very interesting writings! Prescott has a couple of nice websites.
