Each word of the above has an etymology.

The followings  show it.

The rate of orphan-adoptions in Japan consists of 98% of adult adoptions and 2% of child ones.

The adult adoptions consist in assigning a scion on a Big company.

2.compose = com + pose=(together) + (put aside, lay down)

: to make or create by putting together parts or elements.

98% of adult adoptions and 2% of child ones compose the whole rate of orphan-adoptions in Japan. However, Japan has the highest rate of adoption in the world as well as the US.To take a look into the US case of adoptions, the vast majority of adoptees are children. The outline of these 2 counties look competitive in the ranking of adoptions. However, As you see closely to the substance, it is obviously that he extremely opposite facts compose the each reputation in adopting.

3.constitute = con + stitue = (together ) + (stand)

So Japanese adoptions constitute the dependence of its big business. The employers or company CEOs seek for their successor. Some people might think that this is wrong because such CEOs just take adoptees for use, but for their family. but with taking a glance to the point of the rate that is previously mentioned, they rather gives family to the people who have never know about family. Beside almost all people just don't turn to look toward this fact.

4.comprise = com + prise = (together) + (take,seize)

: to form part of a larger group of people of things\

As you might think what causes the child adaption taking behind, it seems related to Japanese general idea which comprises the following notion.  In practice, it feels tending to keep behind that a boy or girl  is actuary an adoptee because we,Japanese, think it's just a tragedy.

I have met a family who has an adopted boy in Canada. The boy actuary had been born in Africa. The mother said that she and her husband had decided to welcome another kid not from her womb, but this way after giving a birth to themselves girl. I asked them the reason. The answer is "This is one thing that we could do for the world."

I wish the idea which rooted deeply to our mind has converted before our next  generation become to the age.
