Pros And Cons Of Consequentialism

While I do believe that consequentialism is the right way to set the standards of whether or not an action is moral, there is a major concern about it that sets it back. The set back that I am talking about is, sometimes the consequence that we want does not happen at all, and it turns into something that is completely opposite. Basically a mismatch happens in this situation. This is a problem in our ability to judge an action or person correctly. It is wrong to claim that a person’s action was immoral or even moral because the consequences turned out unexpectedly, but if we were to set our moral standards based on the idea of consequentialism this is what could happen.
