Many immigrants to the U. S. During the last quarter of the twentieth century had escaped by boat from which communist country?

Vietnam

Explanation:

Vietnam was originally divided into two (North and South Vietnam) in an attempt by the Western powers to weaken communism in the country. This eventually led to the Vietnam War of which the U.S. was heavily involved.

Towards the end of the war and as the U.S. was pulling out, the Communists gained the upper hand and as they began to capture more territory, people began fleeing South Vietnam by boat in order to escape communism. A lot of them eventually resettled in the U.S. in the last quarter of the 20th century.

atman means 'eternal self'. the atman refers to the real self beyond ego or false self. it is often referred to as 'spirit' or 'soul' and indicates our true self or essence which underlies our existence.

there are many interesting perspectives on the self in hinduism ranging from the self as eternal servant of god to the self as being identified with god. the understanding of the self as eternal supports the idea of reincarnation in that the same eternal being can inhabit temporary bodies.

the idea of atman entails the idea of the self as a spiritual rather than material being and thus there is a strong dimension of hinduism which emphasises detachment from the material world and promotes practices such as asceticism. thus it could be said that in this world, a spiritual being, the atman, has a human experience rather than a human being having a spiritual experience.
