status, hierarchy, environment, gender? Which period of time do you want to discuss? You have to dig further and define, as chiz mentioned above, your focus area. So, for example, if I was doing social class I would pick Japan as my focus country, discuss the status of samurais to that of farmers, the hierarcichal status of the emporer as well, say the 18th century, discuss how the environment of Japan was like during that time, and of course gender roles within social class. Look at the concepts and incorporate them in your mini-pip by detailing your findings.
I can't think of a focus question for you but gather some information and develop it from that
