How do you say "It would be seen as impractical"?

In the sentence, I'm talking about a practice. I want to say, "This practice would be seen as impractical in the Western world."

What I've got so far: "Esta práctica _________________________ en el mundo occidental."

Basically, I've got next to nothing. Help, please?

Well you do have "homework" and we do not do it for you , just make an attempt yourself and we may correct it , that is how we work and how you 'should work'. - ray76, Oct 24, 2015
Alright then, what I thought was that it would be something like "...sería visto como poco práctico..." but I'm not entirely sure if that's right. - beingawesome, Oct 24, 2015
You could try putting your sentence into the translate function - You find it by clicking on "Menu" above. - ian-hill, Oct 24, 2015
I put the important part into the translator, and two out of three answers had the wrong verb tense. - Daniela2041, Oct 24, 2015

Esta práctica sería visto un poco impráctica en el occidente.

Your version works also: sería visto como poco práctica.(Watch gender agreement)

"Sería visto" "would be seen" The passive works here.

Another variation. Se vería como un poco impráctica....

How's this for impractical?

Welcome to the forum and well done for completing your profile. I am not sure how to write the sentence you are unsure about. I see you have had a go in the comment section. I suspect it may be the third person construction with 'se' Hopefully a better linguist will give you a correct answer.

Buena suerte.
