Of course, those aren&#x27;t the _only_ two good answers to the question but, remember, they&#x27;re trying to make a distinction between 17-year-olds.  They&#x27;re not looking for a particularly perspective, but for some instinct to go deeper than gut feel.<p>I&#x27;m sure they&#x27;d be impressed with someone who thought about it from a philosophical perspective, talking about ethics etc., as long as there was some structure&#x2F;foundation to the answer.  My interview was with two people (at the same time), one specialising in philosophy and the other in economics.<p>Regarding the questions being specialised, I don&#x27;t expect this is generally the case.  At the time of my interview, I was studying Economics, Maths and Further Maths.  So, the questions were challenging whilst still being within reach, given only things I had already studied at school.  (e.g. in Economics I&#x27;d been introduced to supply and demand curves; in maths I&#x27;d been introduced to calculus; answering the question was simply a matter of seeing the link and putting the two together.)
