Good luck.

I just finished my 10,000 words thesis.



Go to purdue uni. website. They teach you how to form and find a research question.



Publication manual of APA is another great source in professional and student level writing.



When you find a subject, go to EBSco host or such article finder website. Search for your subject. Find the best article you can through the abstract. In its references, you will find most of the articles you need.

That will lead you to actual research, if thats what you want, or lit. review.



Have fun.

I'd use evolutionary psychology as the subject. It's how certain traits of the opposite sex are relevant to attraction:



(obviously these don't ALWAYS apply, but usually do):

-Tall guys are intimidating to enemies, therefore attractive to females

-A confident man is more capable of survival

-A deep voice = higher testosterone = more muscle growth, ect.

-A more toned body obviously more fit for suvival



-Women tend to have a greater bond towards children because males would usually mate, stay until the child was old enough to be fully supported by the mother, then go off to the next mate



-A female's function is to seduce a male while the male's function is to prove genetic superiority to earn the priviledge to mate



Just google it up and I'm sure you'll find a ton more. Keep in mind most women would find some of it degrading, but if you want the truth, it's out there.

gender roles: a social construct



how men and women have been stereotyped as so different throughout history but are really the same,point out how perceptions of things generally considered "feminine" or "masculine" differ from culture to culture and time,that there have never been any conclusive medical studies done to indicate any truth to common stereotypes like "women are more emotional than men" and so on,mostly just focus on how the human psyche is much too complicated to be summed up in two groups

Why female teachers sleep with their teenage students? You should look at personality disorders where reckless behavior is a symptom like BPD. Cover a possible history of sex abuse as a child or them just being psychotic.



The outline should be a few paragraphs. State the topic and then give a brief overview of what will be in the paper.
