In an essay of 400 to 800 words (with a typical font and spacing, this will be approximately 1-1/2 to 3 pages), respond to the following questions:
- What elements in the life and work of Simone Weil, Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, and some of the characters portrayed in the movies Dr. Ambrosio mentions speak to you most effectively about the qualities of the secular saint?
- How does Simone Weil's view of justice demonstrate a rooting in Greek philosophy? Can you find a similar rootedness in the articulations of the idea of justice in the lives and work of Martin Luther King and Mother Teresa?
