That is kind of a big question wct. If this is part of a classroom assignment your teacher should be giving you some guidance. If your institution is a member of ICPSR, you can get lots of freebie data there; see

http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/

The web pages for each data set also often include a "related literature" section so you can see what has already been done with the data.

Another good source for freebie data is the General Social Survey. See

http://webapp.icpsr.umich.edu/GSS/

Some kindly authors also make their data available on the web or provide it upon request.
