A fundamental question about all ethical theories is: what is a value? Emotovist theories all answer that question the same way: a value is an expression of emotion. So an ethical judgment, according to this theory, is radically different from an ordinary judgment. For example, an ethical judgment that something is morally good or morally wrong is not a natural or intuitional judgment that involves ascribing a property to something; instead, it is more like an interjection, optative, or performative.

How do you contrast emotivism?
Emotivism is a meta-ethical theory that asserts moral statements are expressions of emotions rather than objective truths, while contrasting theories such as moral realism posit that moral statements can be objectively true or false regardless of one's emotions. Emotivism emphasizes the subjective nature of morality and the role of emotions in shaping moral judgments, whereas other theories appeal to objective standards or facts to determine the validity of moral claims.
Can consequentialism be overridden by emotivism?
I think consequentalism is a form of ethics, where emotivism is a system of meta-ethics, so they aren't mutually exclusive. A form of conseuentalism may value emotional states to be maximised (say, in Hedonism) which might be determined in relation to our emotional evaluations. The ethical moment to which an emotivist would react to might be in the consequence of the action or in reaction to the maxim governing action. Ayer's belief that morals are subjective, lacking a truth value, means that the meta-ethical system of emotivism can be alligned with any ethical system.

Why are moral statements meaningless for emotivism?
Briefly, Emotivists contend that when a person utters a phrase concerning morality, ie. : "Theft is wrong/bad." , they are really only expressing disapproval of said action/belief.In other words, they're merely saying, "Theft sucks." Emotivists reject the idea that moral statements/beliefs express anything about reality, only an individual's emotional reaction to whatever they are talking about (in this case, theft).Another way of putting this is that one can ascribe many objective characteristics or relational attributes to an action/belief (for instance "Theft is illegal." or " Stabbing someone to death requires a sharp instrument.") there is no objective basis for claiming that such actions/beliefs actually possess any quality like "good" or "bad".To an Emotivist, saying Assault is bad/wrong" is like saying "This piece of paper is bad/wrong." The paper can be "white", likewise it can be "small", "big", "old" or any number of other things. To say the paper is "bad/wrong", however, is meaningless.- Jynx Evermore

I feel and believe that finding the answer to this question would be; according to Moore and Bruder, "Ethnic is the philosophical study of moral judgments. But many moral judgments are at the same time political judgments." (2005). Moral judgment is defined as, according to Moore and Bruder, "…a judgment that states or implies that something is good or bad, right or wrong…" The historical development of traditional ethics was within the development of the Constitution of America. In this document, moral judgment was valued for all whom lived in the United States of America. The historical development of modern ethnic was develop by emotivist. According to Moore and Bruder, "The emotivists maintained that moral judgments have no factual meaning whatsoever .Such judgments, according to the emotivists, are not even genuine propositions .In their view, the judgment "It is right to keep your promises" is neither true nor false: the utterance is not really a proposition at all." (2005). The connection between the two developments is that each ethics development had some type of morals judegement. They both implies what maybe be good, bad, right or wrong. They both have some philosophical belief as in a group and/or for a society. According to Moore and Bruder, "…the rejection of emotivism and the emerging idea that there are empirical criteria for moral evaluations-are important…"(2005). Reference: Moore, B. N. & Bruder, K.
