I believe that prejudice has an important impact on Scout in that it causes her to be more defensive of Atticus. For example, when the Finches attend their family Christmas celebration, Francis begins to criticize Atticus and even calls Scout a "N..... lover." As a result, she punches Francis in the face, and causes a further feud between the Finch families. Anyway, all of this occurs because Atticus is defending Tom Robinson in court. He is a black man accused of raping a white woman. (you may have reached this part already) Everybody in Maycomb is highly against Atticus's opinion of the situation. Therefore, it causes plenty of misfortune to the Finches.

Basically, from prejudice and racism, Scout learns that the world around her is far from perfection and she must stand her ground, if you will.
