Meryl Streep was given the Cecil B. DeMille Award for her achievements in the film industry. Streep addressed the president elect, Donald Trump while receiving her award, ‘This instinct to humiliate, when it’s modelled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody’s life, because it kinda gives permission for other people to do the same thing. Disrespect invites disrespect, violence incites violence. And when the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose.’
