How to pronounce point of view?

How to say point of view in sign language?

How to use point of view in a sentence?

  1. Andrew Cuomo:

    I dont even know what that means. I dont know how that could be legally enforceable and from a medical point of view I dont know what you would be accomplishing, but I can tell you I dont even like the sound of it, not even understanding what it is I dont like the sound of it.

  2. Rob McClure:

    It doesn’t matter where he is. He does it on the subway. He does it at the gym. He is genuinely that excited about what he’s doing, he just sees a bunch of people standing around deciding what show to see, so of course, he’s going to go, ‘Let me tell you what show to see: The one I’m most excited about.’ It’s really not from a selling point of view. It’s from a pride point of view.

  3. Cheryl Greenberg:

    From the point of view of most White people, Jews were way more engaged and they made the choice to ally themselves with another disadvantaged community in order to protect equality for everyone, from the African American side, that was great, but Jews also had this economic power – because they were White – that they were not using necessarily to help the cause.

  4. Beth Keser:

    I think entertainment is a great medium to influence people’s opinions, it can touch so many people, so many women. It could encourage them to do math or science, or run a TV network. If a show could change one girl’s opinion that girls can be engineers and have to be totally normal, then it could lead to more women in tech companies, more women as vice presidents of corporations. I think the prevalence of a woman’s point-of-view in technology and science is missing right now.

  5. Frank Paul:

    From a scientific point of view, the key motivation for this research was to understand the highly variable behavior of the glaciers in the Karakoram, we have known about this for over 50 years, but still have a very limited scientific understanding of what is going on there.
