What it means
にとって marks the person, group, or thing from whose viewpoint an evaluation or statement is made. It means “for,” “concerning,” or “as far as ... is concerned.” It commonly appears with judgments such as what is important, difficult, useful, or necessary. The phrase usually attaches to a noun or pronoun and does not necessarily mean that the marked person receives a benefit.
Usage note
にとって focuses on a viewpoint or basis for evaluation. Do not confuse it with に対して, which often marks the target of an action, attitude, or contrast.
