a. The purpose of this essay is to analyse English business news from the perspectives of its features, forms, and impacts.
b. The purpose of this essay is to analyse English business news from its features, forms and impacts.
c. The purpose of this essay is to analyse English business news from its features, forms, and impacts to values.

I think the first sentence is right, but I am not sure whether the second one is right too, that is, whether from can be used to indicate from the perspective of. In my mother tongue (Chinese), it is ok. And the third one makes me quite confused, I have no idea whether it is right.

Thanks for your help!

B is OK, but A is clearer in intent. I don't understand the end of C.

Ah, I see what you mean. I think that either will work, though they represent different grammatical structures. Your C should then read:

The purpose of this essay is to analyse English business news from its features, forms, and impacts to its values.

This means to analyze each of its listed items, while A and B means to analyze business news using those items.
