i'd do it on something you're interested on.. so you don't lose interest..
like, as dom said.. if you like computer games, can game violence influence reality? ya know.. stuff like that.. give it a ponder

someone with those LED washer jets
but seriously, you could say if they drive dangerously etc etc or what effect sleep has on something......i dunno, just think of something, do a google if it returns lot of info then do it on that - if not, dont both as you.
for my sociology AS (i know totally different thing but still) i did an essay on public schools and the effect the "public tag" has on jobs and the person future life - was pretty good to do and theres tons of info about etc etc <- dunno if you could do something like that

How about difference in attitude towards obesity/smoking
Watched Super Size Me last night which was pretty good, he made a good point
He basically said that smoking has now become socially acceptable, and its ok for people to tell other people about how bad smoking is for them and all the damage it does to you, however you would not walk upto an obese person and tell them off for being fat and warning them about all the health problems associated with being fat
Also the chocolate/mood elevator thing is good. Specially looking at the difference between men and woman. Seeing as woman are more well known for getting chocolate cravings
