The Art of War is noted for its realistic assessment of the political constraints of warfare. It is part drill book, part tactical survey, and part political treatise. Its advice has been followed for centuries and it continues to be consulted by modern Chinese leaders. In recent years it has been promoted as a tool in business schools in Japan and the United States.

Although almost nothing is known of the life of Sun-tzu, his tract, The Art of War, has been one of the most influential military handbooks in world history. Legend has it that he served the Wu dynasty after being challenged by the emperor to make an effective army out of his concubines. Sun-tzu placed the emperor’s two favorites at the head of two different files of concubines and when they failed to discipline their charges he cut their heads off despite the protests of the emperor. After that the concubines drilled effectively. He became known as Sun, the warrior, and is reputed never to have lost a battle.

Answer these questions in a 300-500 word essay. Make sure you put these in context using the textbook(Jerry H. Bentley & Herb Zeigler. Traditions & Encounters, Vol. 1 From the Beginnings to 1500, 6th Ed. 2015). Use the document for examples.

The Art of War has been used to illustrate the creativity of Zhou thought. Why? What does the Art of War tell us about the society for which it was written? What were its values and view of human nature?

Question
Anna used to earn $150000 per annum, paid fortnightly. As a photographer, she worked with Max, producer and director of Creative Juices Pty. Ltd. Creative Juices began operation in 1996 with only Max and Anna, and saw $2 million gross profit last year. Anna enjoyed taking on jobs that challenged her to produce innovative television advertisements. She and Max had been friends since University and had developed an exciting work relationship involving Max’s production of her visual expertise. Max promised Anna, when they first started working together, that she would receive a large bonus payment when she left the company, at least 50% of the most recent annual profit made. Although, with the growth of the company, they now worked separately most of the time, they would meet frequently to discuss the income and expenditure of the company, and also to agree on her income increases, taxation contribution rates and insurance premiums. Max usually followed Anna’s advice on money matters, although he had to sign all formal documentation as the director of the company. No contract was ever written concerning Anna’s work with Max.

In March, when she was on an assignment in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Anna fell over her tripod and down a mountainside, injuring her back. She was not wearing climbing boots or a safety helmet and her injury was not minimised by their protection. There were no work policies on wearing safety equipment although Max had often reminded Anna to be careful, especially when she was trekking. Anna had to cancel the photo shoot at the time, and, while she has attempted short assignments since, has not been able to maintain a full time load of work. Anna has continued to receive her regular income since then, despite taking considerable amounts of time off to recover from her injury. Anna takes anti-inflammatory prescription drugs and has to see a physiotherapist twice a week to lessen her back pain.

Max has understood Anna’s intermittent absence at work is because of recurrent back pain. However, he recently asked Anna if she thought that they could meet to discuss the future of their working together. In the discussion that followed, Max got tense and advised Anna he no longer want to work with her, offering her 4 weeks’ notice paid in lieu. He said he was reflecting on the early days of the company when neither Max nor Anna took home any pay, to determine this period of notice. Anna considers 4 weeks is grossly inadequate and reminds Max of his promise about a bonus payment. Max doesn’t remember making such a promise.

(a) Discuss whether or not Anna is an employee.

(b) Assuming Anna is an employee, detail whether she could claim her contract has been breached on the basis she is entitled to a much larger termination payment.

(c) Assuming Anna is an employee, discuss whether Max has breached any contractual duty in relation to her injury.
