Some authors like Rudyard Kipling argued the US and England had an obligation to conquer and civilize "less evolved" societies.

In addition to it being implicit in a lot of his work, check out the poem "White Man's Burden" for a fairly explicit statement of this thesis. It's pretty racist by today's standards, but arguably it's essentially the same concept as (say) the Peace Corps.

How did the new imperialism differs from the old imperialism?

There are many differences. One is that old imperialism mostly used trade ports to trade merchandise with other countries- they also did it respectfully. New Imperialism wanted domination. Instead of trading peacefully, they decided to just take over the countries. New Imperialism was all about getting more money. I hope this helped!
