Moral Dilemma
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.
No one else will know, so you won't be fooling anyone but yourself if
you give anything but a truthful answer.
The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which
you will have to make a decision. Remember, your answer needs to be
honest, yet spontaneous. Please read slowly and thoughtfully, giving
due consideration to each line.
Here's the situation:
You are in Louisiana; New Orleans 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 man floundering in the water. He
is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris.
You move closer...somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize
who it is. It's George W. Bush, President of the United States!! 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 G.W. Bush, or you can
shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death
of one of the world's most powerful men.
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?
