Founder and Director Wojciech Gryc gives his five cents on the growth of Five Minutes to Midnight.   The Edge of Humanity       by Ian Duncombe In an age of technology and invention, science is breaching boundaries that are calling social morals and ethics into question. With cloning, genetic modification, and now live organ harvesting, society is being forced into taking a position on these and many other value-laden discoveries.   Small Steps Achieving Extravagant Goals       by Tsukasa Hiraoka Inspired by the disheartening school situation in Kramorkom, Ghana, Rashid Zuberu founded an organization called Young Peace Brigades. Under the Window of Hope project banner, Rashid and his team have made great strides in improving community education to the benefit of children and adults alike.   A Light in the Night       by Anita Li After reading Elie Wiesel’s Night, a tale of Second World War tragedy, Anita Li’s perspective on the genocide altered to take on a more human empathy. Using the author’s own experiences gives the book a personal relation which brings history textbook facts alive and leaping from the pages.   Who Is My Neighbour?       by Cat-Dan Lai Following the London bombings one year ago, Toronto has recently experienced another terrorist threat that has resounded with many communities worldwide. As citizens continue to face the improbable, they begin to fear the unpredictable, and as Cat-Dan Lai explains, perhaps the best way to cope with the instability would be to embrace one another.   Two Paths, Same Dead-end       by Eric Kam For the first time in Five Minutes to Midnight's history, writer Eric Kam has adopted a creative approach to human rights injustices. His poem compares the lives of two people, geographically distant, yet metaphorically parallel.
