I had a brain spasm today...

Today, after the urgings of the professor of my Japanese Transnational Corporations class, I finally decided I should begin thinking about just what I am going to do for our final paper. The final paper should be roughly 3000 words and should, obviously, be in regard to Japanese Transnational Corporations.

It was when I finally started to think about it that I realized I could very easily tie this in with my roundtable. If you don't remember, my RT is Globalizing Economies: The Rise of BRICs in Relation to Japan and the US. As such, I have received a moment of inspiration and have really begun researching Japanese foreign direct investment in BRICs.

The initial research is exceedingly interesting for me. I find the push and pull factors behind why I country decides to invest in another to be both exceedingly complex and mindnumbingly simple all at the same time. In a way, it's representive of the concept known as simplexity. I could delve into the meaning of simplexity, but I think I might just leave that post for another day. For now: RESEARCH!!!
