Avot DeRabbi Reuven - The Four Reactions

The hypothetical Mishnah in Avot DeRabbi Reuven states

There are four groups who reacted to the 19th Century emancipation from the ghetto:
  1. The First said revise thought and revise practice.
  2. The Second said maintain traditional thought but revise practice.
  3. The Third said maintain practice but revise traditional thought..
  4. The Fourth said stay fast and alter neither traditional practice nor thought.

To which position dost thou adhere?
