viewpoints
Ways of seeing
Viewpoints are the positions from which someone sees or considers something.
The word works both literally—a scenic viewpoint offers a clear vista—and figuratively: From my viewpoint, the merger makes no sense.
A viewpoint is essentially a point of view, though viewpoint tends toward the spatial and point of view toward the abstract.
