From "The Parable of the Sadhu" and "When Do We Take a Stand?"
"The basic question of the case remains, When do we {take a stand}? When do we allow a “sadhu” to intrude into our daily lives? Few of us can afford the time or effort to take care of every needy person we encounter. How much must we give of ourselves? And how do we prepare our organizations and institutions so they will respond appropriately in a crisis? How do we influence them if we do not agree with their points of view?"
Well, I understand the general concept of "taking a stand". But what does it mean in this context? Take a stand on what? All the following questions? What is an appropriate translation here: "什么时候表明自己的立场？"
Thanks in advance.

在这个上下文中就是“坚持原则”、“不妥协”的意思，没有确定或确定的意思。人们本来就是有立场的，不需要去“确定”。

明确立场
如果修饰“立场”的话，用“明确”或许会比“确定”更精确
另外似乎不需要特别强调立场是“自己的”，因为从上下文可以推断出这一含义
供参考

2. 判定、斷定。《新唐書．卷四六．百官志一》：「六曰決斷不滯，與奪合理，為判事之最。」
3. 決定事情的魄力。《三國演義》第二回：「進本是沒決斷之人，聽太后言，唯唯而出。」《初刻拍案驚奇》卷六：「那巫娘子見賈秀才幹事決斷，賈秀才見巫娘子立志堅貞，越相敬重。」1. 做決定、拿主意。《呂氏春秋．仲秋紀．決勝》：「勇則能決斷。」《舊唐書．卷一○五．宇文融傳》：「融乃馳傳巡歷天下，……省司亦待融指撝而後決斷。」
