Abstract: In this expository talk we will show how thinking of the 3-sphere as a generalized flag manifold G/P in different ways leads to several different and interesting kinds of ("parabolic") geometry on 3-manifolds, including conformal and CR geometries. We emphasize the importance of understanding the model space G/P in the study of these geometries.
