In two full paragraphs, discuss your initial process of discovering which subculture that you think you might want to research. Why that subculture? What do you expect to discover? What did you know about this subculture going into the project? What difficulties do you think you might run into? One aspect of this type of research (ethnographic), is the role that self reflexivity plays. You are not only watching and learning about a subculture, you are also becoming hyper-aware of your own baggage/bias/assumptions/cultural beliefs.
