Dramatic Ignorance (n.)
Unlike in dramatic irony in which facts are not known by the characters but are known by the audience, in dramatic ignorance, authors must pretend that their characters are more ignorant than they normally would be to take into account the actual ignorance of the audience.
An example of dramatic ignorance can be found on CSI on which the following dialogue might be heard:
(Scene: Las Vegas hotel room. Sara Sidle sprays a liquid on a bed.)
Gil: What are you doing?
Sara: I’m spraying Luminol to find blood trace.
This dialogue is absurd for the characters because Gil, of course, would know what Luminol does. The dialogue is there for the benefit of the viewer, who may have actual—not dramatic—ignorance of basic forensics
lacking knowledge or information as to a small piece of fried or toasted bread, sometimes seasoned, used as a garnish for soups, salads, and other dishes.a particular subject or fact

Aggravated Ignorance is an imaginary charge that police officers use when idiots ask what they are being arrested for.
Aggravated Ignorance can also be applied, when a person who is talking to him or herself into getting arrested, by being ignorant and argumentative.

Choosing to remain uninformed because the marginal cost of obtaining the information is higher than the marginal benefit of knowing it.
Commonly practiced by hicks that don't wish to change their point of views about ANYTHING.
"All dem blackies wanna do is steal turnips outta mah garden!"
"Those Muslims and Hin-don'ts are the devil!"
"Men are pigs!"

An act or saying that may be socially acceptable in the past. Brought up years later to undermine or affiliate one in a negative or insensitive way. With apologetic awareness, a higher EQ is displayed.

Those photos really show the generational ignorance in 1980s society.
