I want an interesting topic that i will enjoy researching. If anyone has any ideas from previous experience i would love to hear them...:):):)

    It's not hard, it's just different. But then again, that's probably subjective. My quantitative research topic last year, was the environment. I don't think it'd be fair for me to elaborate further. What are you interested in? If it's family, for example, you'd have a lot to work from with variables and family theories etc.

    I'd advise you to master the univariate and bivariate statistical procedures. You'd also need to know how to interpret the results. That's important as the theoretical framework is irrelevant, if you don't know how to interpret and discuss the results relating to your research questions and framework.

    hey

    yeah suppose the family would be one of the topics i might consider, i know the division of household in the house is a popular one though. I would be interested in researching the criminal aspect of things but not sure if that is measurable. There are alot of boring topics like national identity, religion etc that would bore me to death:(

    thanks for replying;)
