Since acts or actions are doings, an ethics of doing is an ethics of action. Its fundamental question is: "What should I do?" The typical answer would be a list of actions that should be done and a list that should be avoided. The contrast is to an ethics of being, which is about character or virtue. Its fundamental question is: "What should I be?" The typical answer would be a list of virtues, valuable character traits, that should be cultivated and a list of vices that should be avoided.

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.
