Ethical Question

This test only has one question but it is a very important one.

Please do not answer it without giving it some serious thought.

By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.

The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which
you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be
honest, yet spontaneous.

Please scroll down slowly and consider each line.

Thoughtfulness is important for this evaluation to be meaningful.


Ready? Begin . . .

You are in Florida . . in Miami to be exact . . .

There is trash all around you caused by a hurricane with severe
flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions.

You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper and you are
caught in the middle of this great disaster. The situation is
nearly hopeless.


You are trying to shoot career making photos. There are houses and
people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water.
Nature is showing all of its destructive fury.

You see a woman in the water. She is fighting for her life, trying not
to be taken away with the debris. You move closer . . somehow the woman
looks familiar.

Suddenly you know who it is . . it's Hillary Clinton!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take her
under, forever.

You have two options: You can save her or you can take the most dramatic
photos of your life.


So, you can save the life of Hillary Clinton, or you can shoot a
Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the
world's most powerful woman.

Here is the question and please give an honest answer:

Would you select color film or would you go with black and white?
