You are looking at it from a personal / subjective view point. In that you are only considering the society that you live in at the moment.
No, I am not.

Other places and other times those types of attitude you mentioned would have been of a benefit to a society not a hindrance.
Such as ancient vikings who felt the morality was on their side when they plundered other villages.
People can benefit from plundering and stealing other people's property. This does not dismiss the fact that they violated the rights of others. Just because the vikings felt morally justified does not validate their thievery. Looking at it objectively, they took something that did not belong to them.
