Calpurnia lectures Scout on manners when Scout criticizes Walter’s manners and Atticus supports her. What does this tell you about how both Calpurnia and Atticus feel about others?

Both Calpurnia and Atticus are people respectful of the other. Calpurnia is angry at Scout because the girl does not treat Walter as an equal and acts in a rude way. Atticus supports Calpurnia's actions because he is also a moral man who tries to teach his children about respect.
