Outline Mobile Application
Executive Summary
In the paper, the selected mobile application to be used is
known as Let’s Go. This app is for communication purposes
which is intended to allow different people be able to
communicate with their friends. This app also allows the
meeting of people and making plans after communicating.
Application Framework
The Let’s Go App selected is expected to target all the devices,
both low and high end ones. The development, testing, writing
as well as the design are made to ensure that the app is
compatible with diverse devices.
Visual Design Tool Showing App
Let’s Go App is a web-based app. That is, it can be hosted on
the web and anyone can access it from any browser even on a
mobile gadget. However, for it to work, it needs either Wi-Fi or
a cell signal to function.
Mobile Design Elements
These may impact the decisions because users may be required
to adjust their User Interface manually to prevent errors and
facilitate consistency.
Testing Strategy
First, accessibility testing is essential so that we may know how
many people have the access to our app. Secondly, security
testing will make sure that users of Let’s Go have their
information well protected. Lastly, performance testing will
help us improve on the performance of Let’s Go.
Marketing Strategy
The main approach is the aspect of people sharing their travel
time as well as locations with one another. For instance, when
people decide to plan for trips, they can share on their
platforms, these ideas will be visible to friends and friends of
friends and ensure that many people are aware.
Future Adaptations
In future, this app is expected to better diverse types of
communication among coworkers and friends and aim at not
only creating profits for self-betterment but also maximizing the
communication to the best we can as the developers.
Running Head: NATURALISTIC OBSERVATION AT
MARKET HOUSE NASHVILLE 1
NATURALISTIC OBSERVATION AT MARKET HOUSE
NASHVILLE 5
Naturalistic Observation at Market House Nashville

Naturalistic Observation at Market House Nashville
Recently I had the opportunity to observe the natural life of the
Market House Nashville in one of the busiest days. On this day,
there was an event where farmers in the entire Davidson County
were auctioning livestock and poultry with many opening fast
food booths for the huge population converging there. Seated at
the furthest right corner, I had a wide a view of the market,
enabling me to observe each detail of the social interactions.
The weather was bright teaming up with the noises and
commotions by the many people all creating a vibrant scenery.
Most people tripped in using bicycles and on foot with notably
very few vehicles in the scene. Only cargo vehicles were
present carrying big luggage, sheep and goats as well as
chicken.
The market is constructed in the middle of the Nashville
locality and is surrounded by local houses, roofed with partially
corrugated sheets indicating the inhabitation by a middle level
social economic class. In the market people were clustered
around the different food points with streams of people moving
through the market pavements to observe the exhibitions
brought by the numerous traders. The buyers spoke in the same
language, had the same dialects and had similar food and other
products preferences indicating that they were from the same
locality. Buyers on the other hand were from different states
owing to their use of different accents and their different
dressing patterns with the locals- the indigenous population
wore clothes covering their entire body while the traders had
different choices of dressings.
Market House Nashville was a busy market with different noises
combining to form loud harming noises. As the day progressed
fast foods were ready mainly comprising of artisanal meats,
milk, and cheese among others. As the foods got ready there
was a combination of sweet aromas and stenches emanating
from heaps of waste products from slaughtering activities. The
air was stuffy with the huge population and the limited spaces.
The market has a poor drainage and waste disposal mechanism
with garbage and litter spread all around. When human beings
congregate, they lose their social boundaries and caution and
adopt the collective way of doing things (Vagni & Cornwell,
2018). This was the case on the market day, people did not
observe the personal hygiene such as washing their hands,
which is characteristic of the American people.
Buying and selling was through the use of cash, characteristic
of many rural American markets. Money was both in notes and
coins. There was intense bargaining and negotiation on product
prices between buyers and sellers. People bought farm items in
bulk with others buying sheep, goats and chicken to take home.
The average stay of the people in the market was around two
hours, safe for a few women who took half the day catching up
with their friends and discussing seemingly intimate matters.
The population comprised mainly of middle aged adults and
their children as well as older ones with few teens and young
adults.
There were vibrant communication patterns as locals engaged
each other, as if having stayed for long before meeting. People
exchanged greetings using handshakes and hugs indicating the
happy mood created by their meeting. Soon people would
congregate in small groups with loud conversations that seemed
to center on an aspect of commonality, different from any other
group. Close social distances between communicators has been
suggested to communicate social closeness between parties
(Bolis & Schilbach, 2018). The closeness between the people
during conversations indicated their prior friendships and
associations. Communication was highly non-verbal with each
of the participants well conversant with the meaning of each
cue.
As lunch hour approached, people purchased food from the fast
food sellers. There were different points from where to buy food
and drinks. Social psychologists have for long suggested that
even in the most simplistic communication contexts, there exists
social groupings based on social classes (Cadenas & Borges,
2017). The food buying patterns communicated this perfectly
where those of the higher social economic classes preferred
rather less crowded booths with relatively higher costing foods
as those of the low social economic classes interacted freely and
ate in big groups, chatting as they took their food. This was
however subtle and immediately the meal session were over the
different classes would later mingle. People were courteous
with several women requesting that I join the others in looking
for food. One of them was concerned that I could be hungry but
shy to seek for help.
Gender roles were openly defined in the market scene. Over
eighty percent of the sellers were female with most of them
selling foods, fruits, milk, vegetables and cereals. The few men
who were selling products sold livestock, meat and were
involved in transporting the products. Life seemed more of
communal with each party concerned on the welfare of the
other- people cautioned others from stepping on the waters and
the slippery mud as if to take care of each other. From a
distance, churches and schools were visible indicating the
highly religious nature of the locals.
