ESSAY ON: Peter & Hull/The Peter Principle

Number of Pages 8

This research paper: An 8 page summation of Laurence F. Peter and Raymond Hull's The Peter Principle. The writer offers a chapter by chapter brief summation of the major points of this text, arguing that this an excellent parody on several levels, as it basically castigates the entire hierarchical structure of Western civilization. As with all good satire/parody, its humor lies in the fact that so much of it is true. The Peter Principle is as applicable today as it was 34 years ago when it was first published because it concerns a feature of human nature that has not changed, but rather become more entrenched in industrialized society -- incompetence. No additional sources cited.
