==Description==
A '''smile''' is a [[facial]] [[expression]] formed by flexing the muscles near both ends of the mouth. The smile can also be found around the eyes. Among [[humans]], it is an [[expression]] denoting [[pleasure]], [[joy]], [[happiness]], or amusement, but can also be an involuntary [[expression]] of [[anxiety]], in which case it is known as a ''grimace''. Smiling is something that is [[understood]] by everyone despite [[culture]], [[race]], or [[religion]]; it is internationally known. Cross-cultural studies have shown that smiling is a means of [[communicating]] [[emotions]] throughout the world. But there are large [[differences]] between different [[cultures]]. A smile can also be [[spontaneous]] or [[artificial]].
