Body language is a very effective form of communication. Some facial expressions, in particular, can be understood all around the world. If you find something disgusting, for example, we wrinkle up our noses. Anyone watching immediately knows how we feel.
All people smile, and a smile is likely to get a positive reaction. It can, however, be obvious when you don't mean it. When you genuinely smile, muscles around your eyes automatically contract, but these muscles are difficule to control consciously. An authentic smile fades quickly, too, while an artificial smile will usually last longer.
The expressions we make when we are angry, sad and scared are also common to most cultures. Despite all the different languages spoken in the world, we can still communicate using this universal language of facial expressions. However, you sometimes need to be careful. Certain gestures can vary, even within a single country. For example, Southern Italians gesturing "yes" tilt their heads forward, never back. whereas people in the north nod by tilting the head backwards and forwards. Sometimes, this can be very confusing.
