Family to Atticus is not determined by blood. Atticus considers a family member by the loyalty and affection to the family.

Atticus's voice was even: "Alexandra, Calpurnia's not leaving this house until she wants to. You may think otherwise, but I couldn't have got along without her all these years. She's a faithful member of this family and you'll simply have to accept things the way they are." (14.28)

Prejudice

People should not judge others only on aperence but should judge them on the type of personality

"Don't say nigger scout. That's common"(77)

Injustice

One should not be treated differently due to ones skin colour.

"Atticus says cheatin' a colored man is ten times worse than cheatin' a white man... Says it's the worst thing you can do."(201)

Hypocricy

One should not be acting a certain way to suppress a certain perspective, instead they should embrace the truth.

“Atticus Finch is the same in his house as he is on the public streets.”(61)

Courage

Courage is stepping out of your comfort zone even though it is difficult. No matter how difficult it is, sticking with it.

“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what."(112)
