outlooks

Ways of seeing

Outlooks are perspectives or points of view—the mental positions from which people see the world: Their political outlooks couldn't be more different.

An outlook can also be a forecast or expectation about the future: The economic outlook remains uncertain.

Less commonly, an outlook is a physical vantage point offering a view.
