Ethics Test

. 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 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.

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?

Okay i am a little bit confused because I'm not quite sure what police procedure is, I understand the stress that the police were under given the circumstances but was the force that the used excessive? Did the follow proper procedure?

For anybody that is going to try and turn this into a race issue please don't I just want some input from people who actually know what their talking about

thanks in advance

If the 2 parents of a minor child were never married and only lived together for less than a year 8 years ago? One of the parents is trying to get more court ordered child visitation, and went to a lawyer to put it into motion, and the other parent chose to get a lawyer also, and is now requesting that her lawyer fees be paid for by the other parent!! Is this crazy or what?!

If that house was empty, I could not justify putting myself in harms way to protect some property, so I'm not really interested in the moral judgement part of it.

Did he really have the legal right to go next door and order them to stop and then shoot them dead?

long story short there is a judgement against me and my parents. my parents never went to appeal it and i never even knew about it so the judge ordered in plaintiff's favor. now they levied my bank accounts, and there was a letter in the mail that in 10 days they can come and do a sherrif's sale on anything that we own(we are in new jersey). what do they do, do you have to have a warrant, can they just come when they please?

A few years ago my friend had a pain in her tailbone, She went to doctors and they did nothing and said she was making it up. she missed school and they sent herto court. They told her she could'nt miss school without an excuse till she was 17. She missed a couple days and they did nothing. She's been having stomach pains and found out theres a cyst on her ovary. The doctors again say nothing is wrong. Will she go to to jail or anything for missing school again. She turns 17 in 4 months and lives in SC
