An example of a president's involvement in civic life is throwing the first pitch at a baseball game.

Explanation:

First of all, let's see all the answers a) is wrong because it is a message the president has to give to the congress of the United States and it is a task considered in his duties as president.

Second, b) is correct because throwing the first pitch at a baseball game is not an activity considered into his presidential duties or responsibilities.

Third, c) is incorrect because even though it doesn't have the presidential duties involved in it. It does require him or her to adopt a formal posture in the camera and be prepared for the topics because as a president he or she has to preserve his or her presidential image. The president is not allowed to behave inappropriately. It is a leadership role and it is required to behave with high moral standards.

Fourth, d) appointing an ambassador is incorrect because it forms part of his presidential duties and responsibilities.

- "the civil rights movements"

"such as the montgomery bus boycott of 1955-56, a campaign launched by rosa parks against the policy of racial segregation of the public transit system in alabama. “sit-ins” became popular across the american south, particularly in greensboro, north carolina, increase national sentiment."

- "the counterculture movement"

- "counterculture began to develop in the united states following the rise of conformity in american culture during the 1950s. by 1963, youth, particularly those of the white middle class, began rejecting the cultural standards and normality of their parents, opting for progressive attitudes instead. the movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement became increasingly successful and as the u.s. military intervention of vietnam began to take a negative turn."

"hippie counterculture moved further into popular culture following the summer of love in 1967 when thousands of people came together in the haight-ashbury neighborhood of san francisco. along with greenwich village in new york city, haight-ashbury became a hub for the counterculture movement."
