B) Here is a fun test to assess ethical judgement:

Sometimes we all make a quick ethical judgements based on our own
conditioned ideas of what is good and bad.
It is time to elect the world leader, and yours is the deciding vote. Here are the
facts about the three leading candidates:

 Candidate A: He associates with crooked politicians, and consults with

astrologers. He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks up to ten
Martinis a day.
 Candidate B: He was ejected from office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in
college and drinks a large amount of whisky every evening.
 Candidate C: He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke,
drinks an occasional beer and hasn't had any extra-marital affairs.

Which of these candidates would be your choice? Decide. Explain your answer.
