SOCIAL AND ECONOMICAL ASPECTS
As for the social aspects in this film, you can see in the Navi a very important love
and care for nature, very large ties between the different characters, and the ability
to adapt to the different living beings on the planet.
economically in the movie humans are interested in the minerals of the planet.
These are very valuable, more than any other.
Obtaining this mineral led them to war, they wanted to kill the Omaticaya clan (the
navi) and therefore they would have no one to stand in their way.

Avatar is not based on a book, James Cameron was inspired by his career in
different movies, ideas that appeared throughout his projects.
James Cameron said “Avatar is a review of the bloody colonization of America by
the European powers. The terrestrials are Europe, and the Na’vi are the natives. It
is not intended to be subtle”
