Scout punched her cousin right in the mouth
Aunt Alexandra decides to invite Walter Cunningham over for lunch to show Scout how to behave like a lady and to reinforce their social status. She believes it is important to teach Scout proper etiquette and to uphold the family's reputation. While her intentions are rooted in tradition and social norms, her actions overlook Walter's own dignity and worth as an individual.
You should read the book (it is good), then you could answer all these questions yourself.

Aunt Alexandra tells Scout that Walter Cunningham could not come over in Chapter 23 of "To Kill a Mockingbird" because he was "trash." She disapproves of the friendship between Scout and Walter due to social class differences.
Aunt Alexandra believes that Walter Cunningham is from a lower social class and does not fit in with their family's social status. She values social status and feels that having someone from a lower class in their house may reflect poorly on the family's reputation.
Scout feels more at home in her father's world because he nurtures her individuality and treats her with respect and understanding, while Aunt Alexandra expects her to conform to traditional societal roles and expectations. Atticus values her curiosity and independence, making Scout feel accepted and appreciated for who she truly is.
She says that Walter is "trash" basically because he comes from a low-income family. Alexandra doesn't want scout playing with Walter Cunningham because he doesn't have very much money and doesn't want scout acting or playing how he does. She says that Walter is "Trash" and Scout shouldn't be hanging out with him.
Scout at first tries to convince Aunt Alexandra that Walter should stay as her friend, but Aunt Alexandra in the book appears to be prejudice of social classes and doesn't want Scout to become more of a tomboy than she already is. Afterwards, she discusses with Jem about her problem, and they both conclude that there are four types of people: the normal people, the Cunninghams, the Ewells and the Negroes. In other words, Walter can still be Scout's friend, but not under Aunt Alexandra's watchful eyes.
