What is a good social studies fair idea?

I am actually doing the social studies fair project now and we got a packet full of topics to pick form. For example: Anthropology History “How to Dress? Changing Rights and Responsibilities of Muslim Women." "Who Are the Aborigine of Australia and How Has Their Culture Survived?" "Who Were the Earliest Citizens of Georgia?" Economics "How Does Advertising Affect the Spending Habits of Fifth Grade Students at Our School?" "Are America's Elderly Facing Cost Catastrophe?" "How Do You Finance A War?" "What Would Be the Economic Impact of Prohibition of the Sale of Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products?" "Who Are the Palestinians?" "What Do You Know About Liberia?" "What Happens to the Town When the Factory Closes?” “What Does Drought Mean to the State of Georgia?" history "How Much Do You Know About Your School's History?" "Our Georgia Flag: How Did it Evolve?" “Is Truth a Defense? John Peter Zenger and Freedom of the Press" "How Did Jackie Robinson Change Baseball?" Political Science "Is America the World Policeman?" "Voter Apathy: How Does It Affect Election Results?" "How did ‘Bloody Sunday’ Impact the Civil Rights Movement?" "Have Seat Belt Laws Made a Difference?" Sociology "The Right to Die: Whose Choice?" "How Does Divorce Affect Children?" "I am Hungry: Where Can I Go to Get Help?" "Capital Punishment: Is It the Answer?" "Television Violence: Who Decides and How?"

Hi, I've never heard of a social studies fair, either. They didn't have those when I was in school. But it sounds interseting. I found this abstract online: "....The first step is an understanding of the fair rules. Second, the student decides whether to work in a group or alone, after reading advantages and disadvantages of both approaches. Step three, choosing a topic, describes nine categories and topics within those categories. Students may choose from history, economics, political science, geography, anthropology, sociology, psychology, interdisciplinary, or special theme topics. The fourth step lists sources of information for the research portion of the project. Step five outlines the research steps: stating the question, collecting information, organizing and summarizing, stating conclusions, and stating the importance of conclusions. Steps six and seven concern constructing a display and preparing for judging. The judging consists of an oral presentation and a written abstract as well as a visual display." So, does your school have some rules you have to know first? Are you allowed to work with anyone else? Do any of those topic areas sound interesting to you? I don't know what grade you're in so I'm not sure what would be appropriate for you.
