Things can get a bit confusing:
Words Aspect and Perspective have similar meaning
This helps:
With both words, you can be talking in a purely physical manner (about the concrete ‘real’ world) or in a philosophical manner.
- Your perspective is the context in which, or the position from which, you view something or someone.
- He looks at crime from the perspective of a police officer.
- From his perspective, the second building seemed to tower over the first
- An aspect is a ‘side’, part, nuance, characteristic, or feature, or the directional orientation, of something or someone.
- He saw an aspect of the situation that had previously escaped his attention.
- The southern aspect of the house was really charming.
So, depending on your perspective, you might notice different aspects of things or people.
