The Peter Principle

Purpose and Audience:
1. I think this is aimed at a general audience because it covers many different jobs and different examples.

2. In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence. Late in the story. I think they did this to lay the groundwork and to make you come to his way of thinking before he pitched it.

3. I think they are pretty serious overall, and they are there to instruct and entertain.

Style and Structure:
1. So you get where they are coming from and you get a good understanding what they mean. So you get to see many examples of what they mean.

2. They want to show that this happens all the time. they showed 3 pretty different ones with the same results.

3. In this case i think they can do a little bit of both, it makes it stronger because you can visualize what might happen, but it weakens it because you think they are just blowing smoke.

4. Yeah, because they are from different industries.
