I have a 15 page paper due in a class called social systems and problems. As it sound it focuses on the problem in our society, for example, we have come to a point where we have to be so nice to people and watch what we say that it is taking our freedom of speech away because it would be against the norm to say what you truly feel. Probably not the best example but gives you an idea of the class.

The problem I’m having is coming up with a topic to write about that I can incorporate psychology, sociology, political science, or history (I only have to choice one but I would like to use psychology and sociology). I was going to write about the topic of obesity and the psychological effects it has on a person. It seems like that would be easy to find but this is where I’m getting caught up. Its sources have to come from a scholarly journal and must be peer reviewed. I have a perfect site for that so I don’t need suggestions, however, all the articles they have are just not what I’m focused on.

So here is my question, finally, can someone please help me brain storm and think of a new topic to write about. Nothing to over used like homosexuality or abortion but something that will catch the teacher and the classes attention. Yes, I have to do a presentation! Just throw as many ideas as you can think of and maybe something will spark my thinking.
