Stephen Ireland Luthy Research Paper

Improved Essays
Stephen Ireland Luthy passed from this earth on May 14, 2196, after a long and productive life. He is survived by two imaginary children,
Louie Lee Luthy and Tallulah Luthy, both of Pensacola, Florida, and by his cyberdachshund, Jacques 737.

Mr. Luthy was raised in an emotionally deprived but materially affluent home in Palo Alto, California. As a child, he struggled to identify the streets around the family home. Marian Luthy compensated for her eldest son’s geographic dyslexia by placing a cow bell around his neck and listening for his neighboring classmates to lead him home from school. As a young adult, he entered the professionally unsatisfying occupations of dishwasher, doorman, and mild-mannered insurance salesman.

At the age of 112, Mr. Luthy transferred his consciousness from its failing organic structure to a 17th generation quantum parallel processor housed in a tempered titanium shell. He downloaded his dachshund to a similar receptacle, and the cyberdog was christened Jacques 737.

Mr. Luthy relished no longer having to deal with bothersome aches and pains, but merely reporting self-diagnosed malfunctions to the local nanofactory. He joked that since he had shrunk from a height of six feet to 18.7 inches, he had developed a far more satisfying relationship with his beloved Jacques 737.

After attending telepathic night classes for a period of five years, Mr. Luthy earned his comprehensive doctoral degree in Organic Canine Psychiatry from the Keith Ablow Institute of Higher Mental Functions at Stanford University. He pioneered a well-respected treatment protocol for aberrant dog behavior based on the Inner Puppy School of canine psychoanalysis. He based much of his research on data gathered by studying Jacques 737’s memory banks, which retained the deactivated structural remnants of an emotional attachment

    Study #1 Article Title: It’s Not Just About Salivating Dogs! Author: Ivan Pavlov Date of Study: 1927 Hypothesis: Ivan Pavlov believed that if a dog was exposed to a specific stimulus while being fed, the dog’s brain would associate the stimulus with the food; due to this association, the stimulus alone would prompt the dogs to salivate. Variables: The independent variables, or the variables being manipulated and tested, are the various stimuli that Pavlov used to ingrain a response in the dogs: the ticking of metronome, footsteps, the scent of vanilla, a rotating object. The dependent variable, or the variable measured and tested, is the presence of salivation in response to a neutral stimulus after the dogs have been conditioned to associate the stimulus with food.…

    Ten year old, Lafayette Rivers exclaims enthusiastically in Alex Kotlowitz’ 1992 biography There Are No Children Here, “If I grow up, I’d like to be a bus driver”. Sophomore year, in Honors English, we were reading out loud in class when this aspiration of a lower-income, innocent child, was lethargically muttered by a classmate, and to my dismay, I began to cry. I was saddened by the fact Naperville was less than 60 miles away from Chicago, yet my peers knew so little of what too many city children, like Lafayette who lived in Cabrini Green, had to endure. What broke my spirit, was that my peers were only sympathizing for that class period and would go on with their daily lives, giving no second thought to children who are less fortunate, who have to give so much just to help their families survive, and who are not even sure they will have the opportunity to grow up.…
