What attitudes are present in To Kill a Mockingbird?

This is a very general question, but I will try to answer
it a bit more specifically.

Since To Kill a
Mockingbird takes place during the early 1930s during the height of the Great
Depression, financial concerns are of importance. Money is scarce, and many of the
people of Maycomb are quite poor, though this does not really seem to be of a great
concern to Scout, since Atticus (as an attorney) is financially more secure than
most.

Racism runs rampant as it would have during this time
period in rural Alabama. Jim Crow laws were in effect, and probably a majority of
Maycomb's white population considered Negroes as unequal--a second-class race. Atticus
is more color blind than most of the people in town, and he is highly respected by
Maycomb's black citizens.

Intolerance in other
forms, particularly toward gender and mental instability, is also evident, and this is
another major theme of the novel.
