<em>Question 1:</em>
The debate between rationalism and empiricism takes place in the branch of philosophy that deals with the nature of knowledge: epistemology. Rationalists argue that we can gain knowledge and experience independently of our senses. Sometimes, the information that we gain through senses is altered or redefined after its encounter with our preconceptions. Moreover, reason can sometimes provide additional information about the world that we cannot gain solely through our senses.
On the other hand, empiricists claim that all our concepts are ultimately derived from our senses, and that this is the only method we have to acquire knowledge. Empiricists are skeptical about the idea of reason as providing knowledge. Some empiricists also claim that if some knowledge is not backed by experience, then we do not really have it.
<em>Question 2:</em>
Freedom is a topic that is often discussed in philosophy, with various authors having very distinct interpretations. In the case of Sartre, total freedom is somewhat limited by responsibility for our actions. This means that we can carry out any type of action, as long as we are prepared to deal with the consequences that it would bring.
For example, we are free to commit a crime, as long as we do not care about the fact that we are affecting or damaging law-abiding citizens, that we might end up going to jail, and that we are undermining the legitimacy of our state and our laws. If we are not prepared to be held responsible for those consequences, then we need to act in a different way (abiding the law). Another example is that we are free to not attend post-secondary education. However, the consequences of this action would be having less opportunities for advancement. On the other hand, studying as an adult would have as consequences less time and money for engaging in other activities.This view manages to bring together the idea of absolute personal freedom with that of accountability.

Scout, because of her young age, does not always understand adult behaviour. In particular, she does not always understand social cues and traditions. However, her lack of prejudice in terms of what is proper causes her to have great potential for empathetic growth.
We can see several examples of Scout's developing empathy throughout the book. For example, we see that Scout is baffled at a teacher's behaviour when she criticizes Hitler's prejudice towards Jews, but is herself prejudiced towards blacks. Another example is how, although Scout dislikes most "girly" things, she comes to appreciate the "ladylike," yet strong behaviour of her Aunt Alexandra. Scout's greatest accomplishment is towards the end of the book. She learns that while humans are capable of great cruelty, they can also be very good, and that understanding and sympathy can often mitigate their bad impulses.
