Morality done right is about the voluntary and mutual adjustment of values ( or rather actions expressing them).

Morally done wrong can go two ways, one failure mode is hedonism, where the individual takes no notice of the preferences of others:; the other is authoritarianism, where "society" (rather, its representatives) imposes values that no-one likes or has a say in.
