145. A crucial test of character is whether one is able to adapt to changing social conventions without sacrificing one's principles

With the general admiration on（admire后面是不是接for，恕我孤陋寡闻！） loyalty and stability in one's character, the one（后面加个who也许更利于阅读）sustaining its principle but at the same time adapt to the changing social convention will be appreciated by most societies. Although I admits that sustaining one's principle firmly is in accordance with the recognized values of human beings, being more open-minded to beneficial convention with corresponding change on principles will do more good on both the whole society and the individual.开头说得不是太清楚，要让别人想半天你的意思。这是你的一贯风格？

History is replete with examples that great people who insist on their own principles and successfully adapt to social change make great contributions to their own countries. As we can observe, Roosevelt, （美国历史上有两个罗斯福，最好写全名）the sole excellent American President who stay（ed）on the presidential position for four elections, achieved to reverse the depressed economic situationwith New Policy in 1933 when America is attacked by one of the most serious economic crisis in Capitalist world (这句话写的不爽，revitalized the American economy from the great recession in the 1930s). Although he seemed to adopt some methods that go contrary with capitalist minds（资本主义精神这么写吗？capitalism）to free competition from government's control in some areas, and even the state government participate into building public equipment, still, these adaptation to the economic situation commit no fundamental change to capitalist regime, instead, America so that walk out the economic valley and became a more prosperous and stronger capitalist countries again. With his loyalty his own principles, Roosevelt succeed to save his own countries from danger with some small change yet never shake his stable principle a little. 罗斯福新政的实质是摒弃了政府不干预市场的原则，采用了后来凯恩斯主张的财政政策刺激经济。

however, more great characters are those which(who更合适吧！) will change when alternation of principles will benefit the society. Human society gets to transmit（transmit是传输的意思，应该用transit）from slavery countries(应该是封建社会，feudal societies ) to capitalist countries with the help of those great characters (什么character?)in a large degree. Since the existing regime has largely blocked technology that require a new regime to parallel with its development, a large number of open-minded people gradually evolve their own minds to a higher level, which provide the necessary foundation for the transition of the society ultimately, for in every end of a depressed type of society, it is always those who hold new principles struck up to override the potentate who impede the progress of the society. Without their courage and outstanding perspective to change their principles to favor the development of society, it can be sure that human society may still stay in its initial stage. 你这段套用的是马克思的经济基础与上层建筑关系的理论吧！效果肯定不好。不是说这个理论不好，而是因为它太抽象了，就这么几句话你说不清楚（考虑到收众使美国人而不是中国人）。

On the individual level, it has the same importance to change principles at proper time for realization of worthy goals. But I do not mean a person should become obsequious people who continuously change（submit是否更好？） their subjects to pander if they can decide their promotion or interests. The standard people should obey（follow）to alter their principles is whether it can facilitate most people in an organization or the whole society's sake.(这个标准太大了吧！空！) For example, a scientist who take the task of leading the human beings to explore the natural world, if obdurately insist on their principles established on past wisdoms that yet have shown out flaws nowadays after people making great advances on improving cognitive ability, the society may be in risk of being left into stasis. 当说理不好展开时，不如举个例子。

In sum, we should strike a balance between persisting on our firm principles and changing them for the sake of the whole society. On one hand, we should never abandon loyalty to our worthy belief that is beneficial for most people, on the other hand, we should never be stubborn to insist on obsolete principles that may do harm to social development. 结尾是你这篇文章让人看着最舒服的了！

跟我看到的你的第一篇作文（视觉冲击与思考的深刻性）相比，语言上差了不止一个档次！是一个人写的吗？

后来想了一想发现还真不是太好写，使劲构思，终于出了一个提纲
1.从时间上，举老年人的例子，social change与他们的原有principle相冲突的时候，他们不同的态度反映了不同的character
2.从空间上，举minority民族的例子，后边一样。
3.综合前两段的结论，这个test是generally apply的，举我们自己的例子，比如说对社会世风日下强烈冲击我们的一些原则，人们不同的看法和做法

很tricky的感觉
