56 Impressive Ads About Problems In The World, That Really Makes You Thinking

China is not as you imagine

Hey rain, thanks for your comment. I’m sure China is not totally like this ad. First of all these ads try to exaggerate. But China also has many problems concerning human rights and rich and poor. Sure there are successful stories of modernized and open China, but there are also many problems out there. Unfortunately. I don’t want to talk about politics now and I do understand that nobody likes an ad like this about his own country, but even though it might be exaggerate, you shouldn’t close your eyes before these problems.

China executes over 10,000 people a year, Thats the highest number of criminals killeded in a single country per year. Thats what the ad is about. Not day to day life

This is where you can see a successful ad, people talk about and see what the message is about. Like Cory says, I’m sure they don’t invent those numbers. You cannot deny this problem in China.

I know that many Chinese there are indeed problems, including our friends on the Internet so that, very often we feel very helpless. As you said, we do not discuss political issues, everyone has everyone’s faith……
(Sorry, because my English is so poor, so I only use google translation to expression mind , please understand)

Thanks for making this list, there’s some brilliant stuff in there. I wonder what agencies are behind some of these ads…

Hey Failsafe, thanks for the compliment. Unfortunately I don’t know them, since I collected them from friends, emails, internet and there were mostly no information who did it.

@rain, don’t worry your English is good. As you said, everybody has it’s own opinion and faith.

great selection of ads, it’s great to see creativity put to work for a good cause

@Gianni, yeah, imagine they would be boring and plain. Nobody would notice them and it wouldn’t get the attention they need.

Man, some of those are just awful to look at, it is so sad to see all of the problems in our world!

I am going to give you a well deserved stumble on this It must have taken a long time to write this post!

Thank you Chelle appreciate that. Indeed it is sad to see all the problems in the world and I hope those kind of ads can help a little bit.

Your blog is really effective to show the problem of the world and open our eyes. It is interesting.

Thank you Samuel, glad it works for some people.

Very good post…

Thanks for this selection of ads, very impressive !

Farther is what relates to distance, not further.

(last ad)

Thanks Michael! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you Vem, I´m happy you liked it.

I was impressed especially with the non-smoking ads. The toothbrush-toothpaste one is nausiating – and effective! Hope it changes people’s minds about smoking.

Those smoking ads are scary, and I imagine, pretty effective! The amnesty international ads are downright scary and thought-provoking.

@Shlomo, I hope so too.
@Aibal, I guess then they hit the intention to be scary and provoking.

very interesting and pleasing ad. The hungry ad is quiet loyal and can motivate the new helping hands in this world. These ads can break the rocky hearts and let us to know where we are.

Hey Francisca, exactly, I hope it reaches some rocky hearts.

good pics
bad world

@bot_idiot, unfortunately very true.

Why is that we are so worried about other countries, when we are in a really bad state ourselves? it is not even worth worrying about a country that is communist because no matter what we do or say we will never be able to change their minds not only because we are politically powerless but because the people themselves are not willing to change.

Thank you!!!!

@Doesn’t Matter, unfortunately it’s true, that we are politically powerless and SOME people are not willing to change, others are just powerless to do it.
@blah, welcome.

I came across this site while I was searching mirror. I think it is so impressive. These ads are so effective,too and I wonder who or which organization prepared them. If you inform me, I’ll be glad to you. By the way, whether they are prepared by anyone, the main messages reach the targeted people via these striking ads. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry Irem, but those are from different sources and organizations, I can’t tell you who did them.

@CoryMathews:

Care to post a reliable link that says China kills 10,000 criminals a year? You simply stating that has no credibility whatsoever.

I liked all ads especially social ads which are very true.

Great series. My “favorite”? The Unicef one: “Every Child needs a Family”. That stopped me short. The kid really looks upset.

Great collection of amazing ads. I liked most about help yourself and no smoking….

These ads are very creative! I like them.

Hey Jethro, glad you liked them.

realy its a very effective and a\direct conveying ads.

The people of China are pathetic because they have neither the motivation nor the power to change. My people of the United States are even more pathetic because the have the power but no motivation to change. Only about twenty percent of voters did so in the last presidential election.
