Ethics Test Question 🙂
This test only has one question, but it's a very
important one. 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 give due consideration to
each line.
You are in Florida, Miami to be specific.
There is chaos 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're caught in the middle of this
epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless.
You're trying to shoot career-making photos.
There are houses and people swirling around you,
some disappearing under the water. Nature is
unleashing all of its destructive fury.
Suddenly you see a woman in the water. She is
fighting for her life, trying not to be taken down
with the debris. You move closer. . Somehow the
woman looks familiar. You suddenly realize 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 the life of
Hillary Clinton, or you can shoot a dramatic
Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death
of one of the world's most powerful women.
So here's the question, and please give an honest
answer:
Would you select high contrast color film, or would
you go with the classic simplicity of black and
white?
