In this article, the authors present theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence on the perceptual narrowing and meaning attributed by each culture through social interactions to the categories of race, gender, and language. The authors use that evidence to support the idea that by age 5 years, and rapidly within the first years of life, as children become cultural beings, these social categories get defined and adopted by the child. The authors suggest that these processes might provide the bases for the formation of prejudices and biases very early on and conclude that to work toward a more pluralistic world society.

关于成为文化人：关注种族，性别和语言

在本文中，作者提出了关于每种文化通过社会互动将种族，性别和语言归因于感知上的缩小和意义的理论观点和经验证据。作者利用这些证据来支持这样的观点，即随着儿童成为文化人，到5岁时以及在生命的头几年之内，这些社会类别很快就被儿童定义和采用。作者认为，这些过程可能会为偏见和偏见的形成提供很早的基础，并得出结论，朝着更加多元化的世界社会努力。
