I would spend a couple of weeks comparing newspaper headlines to the facts. In my opinion, getting factual news is nearly impossible and find it interesting how two newspapers can write opposing headlines with the same story.

That's a good place to compare and contrast. Example compare the body shapes or sizes (Weight, Breast Size) of leading female actresses to the actual sizes of normal population. Or compare them to the healthy recommend sizes.

Independence verses dependence. Making your own fun verses blindly following the adverts. Advantages and disadvantages.
