To Kill a Mockingbird What does Mrs. Dubose mean when she says, "What's this world coming to when a Finch goes against his raising?" In what ways does Atticus go against his raising? When is "going against your raising" a good thing? When is it bad?

Mrs. Dubose is referring to Atticus' defense of Tom Robinson. Her declaration that he was going against his raising directly relates to Simon Finch, and the fact he was a slaveowner. The fact that Atticus followed his own heart, values, and sense of morality was a good thing.
