a. changing attitudes about beauty in japan
b. ban of handguns in north america
c. plant owned by a u.s.-based company leaking toxic chemicals into water supply in central india
d. the governor of a state asking for government aid during a recent disaster

Explanation:

Globalization refers to the process of interaction and integration among people, companies, and governments worldwide. It leads to the spread of cultural, economic, and social influences across borders.

• Option A: Changing attitudes about beauty in Japan can be influenced by global media, fashion trends, and cultural exchanges, which are aspects of globalization.
• Option B: A ban on handguns in North America is more likely a domestic policy decision rather than a direct result of globalization.
• Option C: A U.S.-based company leaking toxic chemicals in India is an environmental issue related to corporate behavior but not a typical result of globalization's positive or negative cultural/social spread.
• Option D: A state governor asking for government aid during a disaster is a domestic emergency - response situation, not related to globalization.

Answer:

A. Changing attitudes about beauty in Japan
