By you and all those who are familiar with this agreement. In some cultures not to burp after a meal is being considered as an offence for the host. And yet, if the host realizes that the world of his social agreement is relative and not absolute, he might want to check first whether his guest really wants to offend him or is just unaware of the agreements of his culture. The more isolated the culture, the more isolated the mind, the more difficult it becomes that its " reality " isn't absolute, that assumptions about other people can be simply ones imagination and that there is really a whole world outside of this imaginary world.
