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.
