Explanation:

Linguistic Relativism is based on Whorf and Sapir's Linguistic Relativity Hypothesis, which are two: Linguistic Diversity and Linguistic Influence on Thought. These hypothesis determine that people who speak different languages have a different perception or thinking of the world.

As regards Linguistic Diversity, languages, particularly if they don't belong to similar families, differ significantly from one another in their structure and vocabulary.

According to Linguistic Influence on Thought, both structure and vocabulary of an individual's language determine his/her perception and conception of the world.

to kill a mockingbird basically is about a lawyer who goes against everything in a racist society like at the time of this novel, to defend a black man accused of sexual abuse. in the bible there are cases like that of joseph, who was accused by the woman of potifar, for a crime similar to that of tim robbinson, of that novel (genesis 39: 1-20). at this point we see that god also provides the escape to joseph, who was accused unjustly, but in his time, and through his attitude, his faith was not shaken, and god provided the solution. the perspective of god also written in the bible and not pay evil with evil. (ephesians 4: 32, 1 thessalonians 5: 15, 1 peter 3: 9). atticus, the lawyer, demonstrated during this lee novel, empathy, love of neighbor, understood the situation of this accused man. he went against everything in that society, and stood in favor of that man, for the injustice committed. this shows the empathy, the love taught by christ, in some passages that speak of love and justice in the sermon of the beatitudes (especially verses 6 and 7 of matthew 5).
