I kind of have an idea, but I need a more solid answer.
Okay so Globalism is generally the idea of unifying the world under one banner, or at least creating a union of nations including everyone that is well respected and powerful. It is expected that this global union would be one of the main forces to help problems like poverty, starvation, tech deficits.
"We created the United Nations but most people are so busy worrying about their pride and their countries economic and social dominance that the UN doesn’t have that much power. … Take the country Sierra Leone for example- 6.4 million people, less than 200 doctors in the country full time, a that makes 32000 patients per certified doctor. You can’t justify that …it should have been important as a social movement that could have helped bring out problems like these. We can use today’s social technology and work together to confront the challenges of today like poverty, security, climate change, and the economy, but we choose not to." - from Fluxus: Effects of Fluxus on Today’s Art and Culture (school paper about an art movement) (am glad to expand upon this)
"I believe there is a moral sense and a global ethic that commands attention from people of every religion and every faith, and people of no faith. But I think what’s new is that we now have the capacity to communicate instantaneously across frontiers right across the world. We now have the capacity to find common ground with people we will never meet but who we will meet through the Internet and through all the modern means of communication, that we now have the capacity to organize and take collective action together to deal with the problem or an injustice that we want to deal with, and I believe that this makes this a unique age in human history, and it is the start of what I would call the creation of a truly global society." - Gordon Brown
The point of a global government is that it would create global institutions that can create institutions that reflect our ideas of fairness and responsibility.
If this doesn’t help let me know and I’ll be more specific and expand upon it.

Even in the absence of remuneration, to benefit from a feeling satisfaction or self fulfilment is stipend in itself.
Even the ‘Holy’ and ‘Sanctified’, in believing that they go to a better existence are doing nothing more than expanding their portfolio in the Futures Market.
Therefore, in fact, true Philanthropy cannot possibly exist. Even a feeling of well being is payment.
It doesn’t truly matter if Philanthropy exists; the helped will eventually suffer, and will eventually die. When you mark symbols upon paper, and then erase them, the mark no longer remains. It’s not credited anymore, and although you may remember the mark, that memory will only remain for a short time. The dead may be remembered, but will only reminisce within the mind of the world for a short time. So, no matter how much you help, how tall the leviathan of empathy stands, it will be erased, and it will be forgotten. You have to decide whether that matters to you, whether knowing your life won’t matter soon anymore; living with the fact that those you helped will unwind those threads of recognition and wither far away.

Philanthropy consists of contributions to causes from private individuals or private companies. Typically philanthropy is giving in large amounts rather than small contributions. Philanthropists sometimes provide major support for non-profit organizations like The Red Cross or pseudo non-profit organizations such as Public Television or Public Radio.
