Explain how gestures and facial expressions vary in meaning across cultures, giving at least one example of each

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: There is much variation in gestures and their meanings among different cultures. Examples are waving, thumbs up symbol, pointing your index finger, and bowing. Gestures are not universal. The wide variations in facial communication that you observe in different cultures seem to reflect different attitudes about what reactions are permissible in public rather than differences in the way humans show emotions.
