Sure it does. We only willingly take on responsibilities that benefit ourselves. We don't have a responsibility to "society". We have a responsibility to ourselves and our loved ones. We have no legitimate responsibilities that we haven't willingly accepted for ourselves. We have no obligation, responsibility, or duty to "society" unless we've willingly and knowingly accepted it.
