Duty-based moralities subordinate the individual to maintenance of social norms.

Evidence

Members of duty-based societies are also expected to fulfill a wider range of moralized social obligations ranging from the minor (e.g., giving a friend an aspirin) to the extreme (e.g., saving someone’s life). … In all of these situations, the role of the individual is minimized and the maintenance of societal norms and conventions is primary (Shweder et al. 1987). — Nicolas Baumard, A mutualistic approach to morality, 553
