In what way(s) was Elizabethan culture similar to modern American culture?

The period in which Queen Elizabeth I ruled over England is called Elizabethan Era. This period is famous for its interesting and new cultures, traditions, inventions etc.  

During this era a great deal of stress was made on education for boys and girls of upper-class families, this was a huge similarity between Elizabethan culture and American culture up until the civil rights movement, the dynamics of education given to the general public completely changed. Along with this, the emphasis on respecting parents, table manners, initial education of a child at home are some of the major similarities between the two.  

When it comes to items of daily use we will find plenty of similar things like telescope, pocket watch, bottled beer, thermometer, frozen chicken etc. But only these are now made more perfect and advanced.

Another huge similarity which still exists today is littering of streets and infestation of rodents or fleas everywhere.  

Also people of different social statuses were seen eating different things which is a culture we see till today. Lower and middle class people are deprived of many healthy fruits, nuts etc.
