Should people take selfies at serious places?

In my opinion, I do not think people, especially celebrities, should take selfies at serious places. I disagree that people should be able to do this. One reason I disagree is that people who take selfies at serious places, are those people who are desperate for attention, and usually share it with other social media websites, and I think that there is no reason to pose with a happy face at a solemn place. Another reason is that it could affect people who went through the tragedies at the memorial. Imagine a Holocaust survivor who maybe has great grandchildren that are teenagers, and saw them take a selfie of them smiling with a thumbs up at a concentration camp memorial. This would obviously make them feel bad or even ashamed. Recently on March 21, beyonce and Jay Z visited the Anne Frank House and she took a selfie of her sitting in a corner with her most serious face. She instagrammed this and it got over a hundred inappropriate comments, and hashtags. Yes, she might be doing this for a good cause, but is this really necessary? Even though you might act innocent and take a selfie of you serious-faced, I still do not see the point of posting it on social media websites, and even sharing with the whole world.
