The leading voices come from minority people of different opinions rather than come from the conviction of majority. Is it true? In my observation, this is a complex issue that there are both common and unique opinions resulting in leading voices and we should consider it in a case-by-case manner.  

First, it is true that many of the greatest leading voice come from the ideas or opinions that sharply differed from the views held by majority. Usually a new theory, especial when the one is proposed by authoritative figures, existed for a long time and majority convinced it with doubtlessness. In this situation, it is always the unique opinion different from the majority, or the aggressive one in some extent, that breaks through the contravention and goes ahead a large step. To witness the affection, we need look no further than the history of science. Take Copernicus, the great astronomer, for example. In the 16th century, Nicolaus Copernicus developed the heliocentric model of the solar system, in which the Sun is stationary at the center, and Earth moves around it. This view of the solar system challenged Ptolemy’s geocentric model, which had been the accepted theory and dominated the science field since the 2nd century. If Copernicus did not advocate his heliocentric theory, the procedure of science progress would be stemmed for another several centuries. So the leading voice come from the ideas or opinions that sharply differed from majority is very essential in scientific research and it always provides the speeding force to society.

However, in politics the consequences are entirely different. Those who present opinions and ideas that great differ from those by the majority or populace are mostly likely to be rejected. When political theory, ideology and practice come into sharp contradiction with the majority of the people, they lose their efficacy and in the end are doomed to failure. That most people begin to accept certain political actions and organizations as discordant with their moral feelings indicates an emerging crisis in the society. Therefore, every political theory, ideology and practice seeks the populace’s justification and arguments in order to be accepted by the masses. For instance, in the election of president, the candidate always proposes their striking ideas to attract the populace’s attention and wins the public support. By convincing the majority that the he (her) will be talented to fulfill his (her) responsibility for improving all the respects of society, the candidate will win the election to be president.

Actually, important as originality and individuality are, to be different from the majority should not be a goal for its own sake. Our goal should be the search for truth. When we confront a problem, we need not to be unique on purpose or always the yes-person as the others, we should make a balance between them. The only thing needed to do is we remain ourselves, convey feelings and desires of ourselves.

To sum up, the leading voices both come from people who are motivated by conviction and by people with unique opinions and ideas different from the majority. We should combine the individuality and common spirits together to promote ourselves.

In this situation, it is always the unique opinion different from the majority, or the aggressive one in(to) some extent, that breaks through the contravention(conventions?) and goes ahead a large step(不确定能不能这样说）. To witness the affection（effects?), we need look no further than the history of science. Take Copernicus, the great astronomer, for example. In the 16th century, Nicolaus Copernicus developed the heliocentric model of the solar system, in which the Sun is stationary at the center, and Earth moves around it.

By convincing the majority that the he (her) will be talented to fulfill his (her) responsibility for improving all the respects of society, the candidate will win the election to be president.(这个例子不错，赞，我当时写这方面的时候就没想到比较好的例子，呵呵）

Actually, important as originality and individuality are, to be different from the majority should not be a goal for its own sake. （嘿嘿，提纲是照作文大讲堂写的吧？）Our goal should be the search（searching） for truth. When we confront a problem, we need not to be unique on purpose or always the (be)(鉴于or前后的结构不一样，还是加上be为好 ) yes-person as the others, we should make a balance between them. The only thing needed to do is we remain ourselves, convey feelings and desires of ourselves.

To sum up, the leading voices (can) both come from people who are motivated by conviction and by people with unique opinions and ideas different from the majority. We should combine the individuality and common spirits together to promote ourselves.(这句的意思不错，赞！）

语言上感觉有的地方有些别扭，或许可以再改进些。
两个例子很好，赞。
第三个论证段的篇幅感觉太小了，与前两段不均衡。
以上个人意见，仅供参考:)
