Should People Take Selfies at Serious Places?

Should people take selfies at serious places? Well, it depends on the place; If it were at Washington D.C, maybe, but at a Holocaust memorial? Definitely NOT! It is disrespectful because millions of people have died there and they shouldn’t smile and take a picture of themselves with something like a thumbs up. Some people don’t realize that they are posting pictures at inappropriate times. If you were a Holocaust survivor, or if you were in the Holocaust and didn’t survive, would you want people to take pictures of themselves with a thumbs up? Another place you shouldn’t take pictures is at an accident, funeral, concentration camps, or even at a car crash. If you do take a selfie, at least don’t smile and show that you are happy at a very serious place. I understand that people want to take pictures of themselves on vacation, but go somewhere it is appropriate to take happy smiling selfies of themselves. If a friend of mine posted a picture like this, I would tell them to take it down and it is a very inappropriate picture to take at that event. If it were me, I wouldn’t even take out my phone. What do you think?
