Photography Subject Ideas

ideas for a photography project based on society?
my final photography project for this year is based around society, we've been told to avoid subjects such as homelessness, drugs etc and focus on something different, i was thinking maybe linking it to the media etc but anyone out there with a good understanding have any good ideas what i could base a photographic project around? something which i could document and write captions about etc?
be nice to hear some ideas to give my brain a kick start
cheers, ash
I know that this sounds weird - but how about peoples shoes? might be an eye opener, or just interesting! I mean people ususally dont like to have their faces in pictures unless they are prepared. but I think that most people wouldnt mind if you took pics of their shoes.
