Answer to Question 1

Answer: Answers will vary. Possible points include: Undercover agents are frequently required to be in hostile environments in which they give up control and do not have dominion. The level of danger and unpredictability is markedly increased. Their sense of moral superiority may be increased, as they spend more time surrounded by criminals. Their sense of us versus them will have to be concealed to avoid giving themselves away. Their need for secrecy may extend to everyone they know to protect their cover, thus increasing their isolation. Their bravery and ability to deceive are likely to be continually challenged.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Answers will vary. Students may suggest that common sense, bravery, justice, patriotism, and dedication to creating a better society are shared values.
