As Tina Turner would say, "What's guilt got to do with it?"

We are uncertain about what your topic actually is... it looks as though you have 3 possible ideas:
-is guilt a product of nature or nurture?
-how does guilt stack up on specific topics (such as murder, rape, lying, animal rights) from culture to culture
-degrees of guilt from one extreme to the other (from the sociopath to the priest)

We are also concerned because we don't understand what you're actually testing and how you will go about doing that. Right now it looks a lot like a research project that will most likely be very tiresome because the guilt debate is so subjective that we don't envision you ever coming to concrete conclusions. Despite all this, guilt is a very engaging topic and once your idea is more focused, we're sure you will come up with some very interesting and controversial information.
