Here is a very good test of your ethics: 
 
This test only has one question, but it's a very important one.  Please
don't answer it without giving it some serious thought. By giving an
honest answer you will be able to test where you stand morally. The test
features an unlikely, completely fictional situation, where you will
have to make a decision one way or the other. Remember that your answer
needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.  Please scroll down slowly and
consider each line - this is important for the test to work accurately. 
 
You're in Florida...In Miami, to be exact... There is great chaos going
on around you, caused by a hurricane and severe floods. There are huge
masses of water all about you. You are a news photographer and you are
in the middle of this great disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless.
You're trying to shoot impressive photos, photos that capture the
emotion and tragedy of the events. Houses and people are floating around
you, 
disappearing into the water! Nature is showing all her destroying power,
ripping everything asunder. 
 
Suddenly you see a woman in the water. She is fighting for her life,
trying not to be taken away by the masses of water and mud. You move
closer.  Somehow the woman looks familiar. You know who it is - it's
Hillary Clinton! 
 
At the moment you recognize who she is, you also notice that the raging
waters are about to take her away, forever. You realize you have two
options. You can save her or you can take the best photo of your life.
You can save the life of Hillary Clinton, or you can shoot a Pulitzer
prize winning photo, a unique photo displaying the actual moment of
death of one of the world's most powerful women. 
 
And here's the question (please give an honest answer): 
 
Would you select color film or rather go with the simplicity of classic
black and white ?
