Point of view and perspective.

I am doing a social studies project and one of the questions in which i need to answer is "What is the difference between a point of view and a perspective?" I am completely stumped and would love if someone could help me out. Thank you!

They may be terms specific to the field of social studies. To me, they can be synonymous.

Point of view is a term used in literature to indicate "who is telling the story". First person and third person are the two obvious choices.

Otherwise, they seem synonymous and interchangeable to me.
