Emotions can also be vague, such as the feeling of discomfort when in a new situation or the feeling a mother has when holding her child.

Expression is universal in many cultures around the world and is the result of the evolution of emotions in animals.

For example, a child who is blind from birth and has never seen a smile or sad expression on another person's face may still smile or be gloomy like a normal child.

Cultural factors in emotions explain the characteristics of humans on each continent has its own characteristics. For example, in societies with individualist cultural characteristics such as North America, Western Europe, and Australia, their emotions display long and intensely.

In Asia people usually focus on social relationships. Emotions such as sympathy, respect, and shame are displayed more often by Asian people than people from Western countries, but negative emotions that can interfere with communication will be very rarely displayed in people of Asian culture.

Biologically, humans are emotional beings, but attachment to a particular culture as well as relationships with other people provide a variety of emotional experiences for humans. Emotions are the colors and music of life. Emotions also bind humans to coexist.
