Sociology Research Paper- Topics/Hypothesis'?

I know... I know.. it's very very last minute-- tomorrow I have a 10 page research paper due for my sociology class. Well, I haven't even picked a topic yet! It basically can be any topic that would be covered in a Sociology Journal. Anyone have any ideas? Also our papers need to have 5 different Hypothesis that we state and then prove or disprove through our research and then we need a 3 page conclusion. (this is NOT how we write papers in any english class i've taken.. 3 page conclusion????) ANYWAYS.. an example would be for obsessive compulsive disorder--

H1: Individuals who are obsessive-compulsive are more likely to use pharmacotherapy than individuals who are not obsessive-compulsive.

H2: Individuals who are obsessive-compulsive are more likely to use psychotherapy than individuals who are not obsessive-compulsive.

H3: Individuals who are obsessive-compulsive are more likely to have family members with OCD than individuals who are not obsessive-compulsive.

H4: Individuals who are obsessive-compulsive are more likely to have anal personality charactersistics than individuals who are not obsessive-compulsive.

H5: Individuals who are obsessive-compulsive are more likely to be repetitive than individuals who are not obsessive-compulsive.


Ack- those are just examples. Im so overwhelemed with finals and my kids and recently becoming pregnant again and some 'boyfriend' issues I just can't even begin to think straight! I'm having "writers block" and could use some help!!!!!! Thanks in advance
