Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ethnography requires the researcher to set aside their naïve realism or preconceived beliefs, assumptions, and stereotypes about the culture or group being studied in order to approach the research with objectivity and an open mind. Conscious ignorance, participatory intent, and subjectivity may all be present to varying degrees in the ethnographic process, but they are not necessarily the primary target of setting aside in ethnographic research.
