The topic that I would choose is a nature/nurture study of children being brought from an environment that is not conducive to their upbringing and then put in environment that would give the child a chance to grow and succeed. I would have a few different control groups measuring the outcomes by observing by following the children if material possessions or outside social activities have more of a positive or negative effect on where the child finds themselves when they are 40. I would also have a control group where the child was taken out of the negative environment and put in a positive but had very little possessions and had to work for what they were trying to achieve. I am fascinated with the nature/nurture aspects and the biological elements that make up young children. I believe that the positive contribution would be that we would learn where drive comes from and do we have to pay a large price for it.

I just wonder how much influence society has on children compared to how they were brought up?

Your topic sounds very interesting-I bet you could learn a lot from a nature/nurture study. It's amazing what children learn just from watching the people in their daily lives.
