How may nonverbal messaged differ from other forms of communication?
What will be an ideal response?
Nonverbal messages may differ from other forms of communication behavior in several ways. For example, nonverbal behavior can be difficult to suppress (e.g., an involuntary frown indicating displeasure). Such unconscious behavior can contradict the message the communicator is sending verbally. Another way in which nonverbal messages differ from other forms is that they are more apparent to the people who observe them than they are to the people who produce them. This can make it very difficult for the sender to know how successfully she or he produced the nonverbal message that was intended. Finally, many nonverbal messages are susceptible to multiple interpretations. Even something as common as a smile may have many different meanings. Smiles may indicate genuine happiness, contempt, deceit, fear, compliance, resignation-even, on occasion, anger.

Risk of Loss. Harold Shook agreed with Graybar Electric Co to purchase three reels of burial cable for use in Shook's construction work. When the reels were delivered, each carton was marked "burial cable," although two of the reels were in fact aerial
cable. Shook accepted the conforming reel of cable and notified Graybar that he was rejecting the two reels of aerial cable. Because of a trucker's strike, Shook was unsuccessful in arranging for the return of the reels to Graybar. He stored the reels in a well-lighted space near a grocery store owner's dwelling, which was close to his work site. About four months later, he noticed that one of the reels had been stolen. On the following day he notified Graybar of the loss and, worried about the safety of the second reel, arranged to have it transported to a garage for storage. Before the second reel could be transferred, however, it was also stolen, and Shook notified Graybar of the second theft. Graybar sued Shook for the purchase price, claiming that Shook had agreed to return to Graybar the nonconforming reels and had failed to do so. Shook contended that he had agreed only to contact a trucking company to return the reels and that, because he had contacted three trucking firms to no avail (owing to the strike), his obligation had been fulfilled. Discuss who bears the risk of loss for the stolen reels.
