Best Answer

Ethnographies are detailed studies of cultures or societies conducted by anthropologists through immersive fieldwork, while observations made by explorers, missionaries, and others tend to be more superficial and based on limited interactions with local populations. Ethnographies emphasize a holistic understanding of a culture, while observations may be influenced by biases, preconceptions, or lack of cultural context. Ethnographies aim to provide a nuanced and in-depth analysis of a society's practices, beliefs, and social dynamics, while observations may lack the depth and rigor of anthropological research methods.

Are there any Christian missionaries in Syria today?

There probably are a few Christian missionaries, but the Syrian Civil War is hindering their access to the population and large swathes of Syria are under control of ISIL which imposes Shari'a Law and murders missionaries. Historically, Syria was a Secular country with a Pro-Muslim bent. Missionaries would be heckled and possibly physically attacked. Additionally, proselytization of Muslims (to convert them to another religion like Christianity) was illegal and could lead to the imprisonment or deportation of foreign missionaries.
