Constrained vision
Origin: Lat. constringĕre, visĭo, -ōnis
Believers in constrained vision view such conditions as peace, wealth and law-abiding society, without regard for what strategies were used to achieve them, such as restraining or ameliorating inherent human evils (war, poverty, crime). Those actions themselves have costs, some in the form of other social ills created by the civilizing institutions, so that all that is possible is a prudent tradeoff.
Spanish: Visión limitada.
