These emotions can come from video games, news reports, issues with relatives, and even movies. There's no need to be insensitive about their issues. That doesn't mean they should do it, just some people have different problems than you or I do.
I walked away from the movie, filled with awe at the visuals and moved by the themes portrayed in the Human Vs Navi/nature element. But for me it made me want to look more at our own culture vs say Native Americans or tribes in Africa and South America. As much as I like technology and advancements in science, you have to admit that all this has led to more problems that it has solved.

I disagree.
We have all but eradicated smallpox and polio, influenza is much less of a fatal disease, we've developed modern agriculture so that much less people are starving, advancements have been made in science and medicine due to space travel, and Al Gore invented the intarweb.
