Moline rejects the notion that points of view are reducible to some rules based on some theories, maxims or dogmas. Moline considers the concept of "location" in two ways: in a direct way as a vantage point, and in an extended way, the way how a given vantage point provides a perspective, i.e., influences the perception.

A bird's-eye view is an elevated view of an object or location from a very steep viewing angle, creating a perspective as if the observer were a bird in flight looking downward. Bird's-eye views can be an aerial photograph , but also a drawing, and are often used in the making of blueprints, floor plans and maps.
Perspective-taking takes place when an individual views a situation from another's point-of-view. [1] [13] Perspective-taking has been defined along two dimensions: perceptual and conceptual.
