Do people care about doing what is right simply because it is right, and not for some personal advantage? I seriously doubt the concept has purchase anymore. The concept has vanished from every profession I'm aware of, which now operate solely as businesses. The concept is nowhere to be found in political discourse, which focuses on all the goodies that a pimp representative can procure, and which often resembles an ad campaign for competing brands of soap (I even hear the word "brand" openly tossed around in the political context, verifying that the mindless consumer has vanquished the purposeful citizen).
I believe there is no language of righteousness anymore because it judges and discriminates. The libertine, materialistic, and hyper-egalitarian America of today cannot abide judgment or discrimination (except against those who dare to practice them).
