What exactly is expected for people to know?

I offer as an example. The doors to a business like Wal-mart. People are expected to know how to enter and exit the building are they not? This is a certain expectation.

People are expected to know that they must obey certain basic laws I won’t bother enumerating, but someone might if they think one lies slightly obscure but ought be known.

An easy test for this category is if you met someone operating outside this parameter you would be sure to correct them, or at least look on them like a three legged duck.

Oh and this goes for information not just actios. Like who the president is… What day it is…

If we take nothing for granted, what should we certainly expect others to know perfectly well?
