The document discusses different views of how representations work:
1. The reflective view sees representations as accurately reflecting reality.
2. The intentional view sees representations as intentionally depicting the creator's perspective.
3. The constructionist view sees representations as influenced by reality, intentions, and societal/individual contexts. Representations are never entirely objective or subjective.
