This test has 0nly one question. By giving an honest answer you will discover where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely situation, in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.   Ready?
You're in Miami. There is chaos around you, caused by a   hurricane and floods of biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is showing all its destructive fury.   You see a man in the water; he is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken away with the water and debris. You move closer. Somehow he looks familiar. Suddenly, you realize ... it's George W. Bush! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under, forever. You have two options. You can save the life of George W.   Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer Prize winning photo documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful men. Now, here's the question: Would you use color film, or go with the classic simplicity of black and white? Thread: A Moral Dilemma, Feb. 2004)

Subject: A Moral Dilemma

I have a moral question for you. This is an imaginary situation, but I think it is fun to decide what one would do. The situation: You are in the Midwest, and there is a huge flood in progress. Many homes have been lost, water supplies compromised and infrastructures destroyed. Let's say that you're a photographer out getting still photos for a news service, traveling alone, looking for particularly poignant scenes. You come across George W. Bush who has been swept away by the floodwaters. He is barely hanging on to a tree limb and is about to go under. You can either put down your camera and save him, or take a Pulitzer Prize winning photograph of him as he loses his grip on the limb.

So, here's the question and think carefully before you answer the question below: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Which lens would you use? > > (Thread moral dilemma, Jan 2001)


This is a little test that only has one question, but will say a lot about youIt is important to answer only after long reflection and after having been careful to read everything. An honest answer will make it possible to evaluate your sense of morals. This has to do with an imaginary situation, in which you must make an important decision. Be honest! Scroll down slowly and read the text as it appears. It is important for the test not to go too fast in order to not answer too quickly or without having understood exactly what is at stake. You are in Florida. . .. . . more precisely, in Miami. You find yourself in a situation of complete chaos after a horrendous flood. . . incredible quatities of water are everywhere. You are a photographer for CNN. . .. . . and you are in the midst of this disaster You are attempting to take the photo that will make you famous. . .. . . and houses are being washed away by the raging water around you people are drowning. Nature's destructive forces are destroying. . .. . . and sweeping away everything in their path. Suddenly, you see a man in a jeep. . .. . . he is trapped in his vehicle and fighting against the waves. You move closer. . .. . . and are astounded to notice. . .. . . that you recognise him: it's G. W. Bush! You notice that he only has a few second before he is carried away by the current. . .. . . but you can save him! However, it's also the occasion to take the photo that will make you famous. . .. . . the photo that will win you the Pulitzer Prize and that will make you fabulously rich! the photo of the death of the world's most powerful man, in a position even more pathetic than Saddam when he was arrested. Now answer the question and be totally honest:
