Why did the elizabethans believe social class and status were important?

The Elizabethans believe that a strong social class system was necessary to maintain a peaceful society.

Explanation:

The Elizabethan society was from during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England. During this period, the society placed great importance on the division of the social class ladder, from rich to poor. There was a class for every section of the society. The rich did not want to be put at par with the poor, and some hardly ever interact with the lower classes of the society. Their belief is that this social standing demarcation will ensure that the people of different social classes do not interrupt or disturb people from other classes, and that order will be maintained in this way. They maintained a strict social structure that sometimes seem even preposterous in today's time. There are even separate places of seating in public places, theaters and halls. This was in an attempt to keep the poor in their place and decorum is maintained everywhere. Daughters aren't even allowed to marry below their own family's social standing. But if the guy is from above them, that was granted. But lowering oneself is assumed to be a bad value in the society of that time.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
