    5 important sub questions I should ask about this topic?
    I'm doing an assignment on "Why society is partial towards good looking people" and I have to come up with 6-8 sub questions. Have no idea what would be considered relevant. Please help? Thanks

    Hi iasked,

    It is important to firstly establish your target audience. Are you writing for a journal, newspaper or doing a university thesis? Most social science journals tend to favour the IMRAD method.

    There could be a slight problem here. If you are going to put forward a hypothesis you would normally be expected to produce a study to support your contention.

    I assume that undertaking a study is out of the question. However, there could be a way.

    You could put forward a hypothesis along the lines of:

    When it comes to a final decision an employer will often be swayed to the best looking potential candidate despite superiority of qualifications and presentation of the less aesthetically pleasing individuals.

    Having done this you could then outline you plans for a POTENTIAL study to test your hypothesis.

    This is all I can think of given the limited amount of information you have provided.


    P.S. is this for school, college or university?
