Subject: ETHICAL 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 ethically. 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 New Orleans, Louisiana 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!
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._________________ (¯`v´¯

I wouldn't lift a finger to save him. Besides, I really like taking pictures._________________ Every woman who has ever been presented with a career/sex quid pro quo in the entertainment industry should come forward and simply say, “Me, too.” - jammer The New York Times 10/10/17 |

| I'd pull him into the boat because I don't think I have it in me to watch a person die....but once he was safely inside the boat, I'd kick him in the balls so hard, he'd be a soprano for the rest of his life.

I'd take all the pictures that I could, remove my foot from the top of his head, and then pull him out.
I'm not a killer like he is.

Oh well, you can't say Geo hasn't had any pleasure off of others misfortunes. In fact, he's made himself and a lot of his buddies, a butt load of money sticking the screws to others. Let us have our fun._________________ (¯`v´¯
