I'm unsure I've understood the premise: does it all boil down to "the morally incompetent considers problems as personal challenges, while the morally competent considers them as a societal responsibility" (which of course it includes him/herself)?
- the "morally incompetent" views working on a societal problem as "good thing"
- the "morally competent" views solving a societal problem as "good thing"
i.e. success at solving the problem is important.
