See this is the issue. You should give a damn. You are part of society, you are consuming the products of society, you should be part of that society, you should help it to be better. As far as morals and ethics, they are defined only within the context of a society and if your morals and ethics don't match then by the perspective of that society your morals are wrong.

This is the fundamental conflict in being human - individual needs, wants, behavior verses social needs, wants, behavior because we are both individuals and members of our society and species.
