    An Ethical Test

    An Ethical Test


    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.

    Here it comes...



    You are a photo-journalist for a major Irish Newspaper.
    You are in Ireland, working around Dublin.



    There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding.



    This is a flood of biblical proportions.
    You're trying to shoot career-making photos.
    There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing into the water.
    Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.





    THE TEST:

    Suddenly, you see a man in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down by the swirling flow.




    Somehow, the man looks familiar...You suddenly realize who it is...
    It's Brian Cowen!



    You notice that the raging waters are about to take him under forever!

    You think to yourself, you can save the life of Brian Cowen, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the country's most powerful men!






    THE QUESTION!

    Here's the question, and please give an honest answer...






    Would you select a high contrast colour shot, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?



    A? B?

    A P.ie moderator stated this on June 25th 2010: P.ie tolerates very broad free speech, and thus allows sectarian bigotry etc

    Black and white, the papers won't have the money to print full colour soon.

    I watched with glee, while your kings and queens, fought for ten decades for the gods they made.
