According to the book Shades of Difference by Evelyn Nankano Glenn, the skin lightening trade is a multi-million dollar business in various Asian countries, especially in the Philippines, Japan and China. Some Asian migrants to America carry their goals for lighter skin with them and they may encourage their children to not spend too much time in the sun or to marry someone whose skin is lighter so the children can be lighter-skinned. You could interview Asian-Americans to get their views on how they view beauty.
With the increase and necessity of a two-parent income, you could discuss how this trend influences the quantity and quality of time that both parents spend with their children and extended relatives. Interview some married couples who both work outside of the home and ask about how they balance work and family time. Also mention the effect this has on the academic and emotional well-being of the children and you can interview educators, child psychologists, marriage counselors and religious leaders.
It would also be a good idea to examine the role that young minority conservatives will play in future American politics. You could interview conservative student organizations on various college campuses throughout the country and get their views on their status as minority and conservative. Also seek out interviews with leading conservative experts by e-mailing the publicity directors of conservative agencies such as Cato Institute, the Heritage Foundation and the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny, which is a leading African-American conservative organization.
