Essential questions

It depends on what we want to be moral for
If you do the wrong thing for the right, then your being moral, choosing to do the greater good, like Leamas when he tries to kill Mundt

Poeple who are willing to take risks
What I learned
Spies and agents are a broad concept that's easy to stereotype in modern tv show and movie series
I really enjoyed spies, agents and their typical assets. To me it's very intriguing and interesting
