> It has intentionally simplified the situation and problem down to a good guys vs bad guys paradigm

Pretty much every international situation that gets turned into a moral cause by some Western group - and even plenty of domestic problems - ends up being simplified, abstracted, and turned into something similar to what you're describing.

There are plenty of real problems in the world, and genuinely-motivated people probably can help mitigate them somewhat if they're willing to get involved feet-on-ground, but I'll bet that mass-media campaigns and 'raising awareness' often do more harm than good.
