... "There is no such thing as a consistent ethical point of view: in reality, everyone's ethics are a mixture, if not a muddle." To what extent do you agree? There are many different standard ethical points of view. These include consequentialism, deontologism, ethical nihilism, ethical relativism, egoism and utilitarianism. Some might say that 'there is no such thing as a consistent ethical point of view' and that, 'in reality, everyone's ethics are a mixture if not a muddle.' This essay examines this belief by firstly considering what constitutes a 'consistent ethical point of view' and to what extent it is possible to live your life by any one ethical viewpoint. One could argue that a person who has an ethical point of view which they do not change and does not contradict itself would have a 'consistent ethical point of view'. However, the statement uses the term 'consistent ethical point of view'
