TFY, CHAPTER 8 VIEWPOINTS SUMMARY

Viewpoint is "a mental position from which things are viewed" or "a person attitudes towards something".
The ability to detach from one's point of view and assume another's is an important skill, it enable us to communicate better with others and gain new perspectives.The purpose of this chapter ' VIEWPOINT' is to demonstrate the benefits of such attitudes and skills. In a literature an author can choose a third person to tell the story with limited understanding other choices of viewpoints include a first person narative told by one character or the multiple points of view shared by several characters. Unconscious viewpoints include the egocentric, ethnocentric and religiocentric. Even though their meanings keep shifting the terms liberal and conservative, left and right are still used as yardstick to describe political view points.
