Let me explain

Before we get rolling let me explain PERSIATS + G! More than 40 years ago now I took a course in American history from Dr Charles W Paape, and he used the formula to put history into perspective. All elements of it are in every event to a greater or lesser degree.

For example the American presidential election is a political event of course -- but it is also about economics, religion, social life, intellectual life (education), the arts, science and technology, and the "G" is the geography of the United States, and indeed the world. So we see how they all come into play.

I have always been indebted to Dr Paape for his formula as I have used it time and time again.
