Virginians do-Biting one anothers Lips and Noses off, and gowging one another-
that is, thrusting out one anothers Eyes, and kicking one another on the Cods, to
the Great damage of many a Poor Woman."' Thus, Charles Woodmason, an
itinerant Anglican minister born of English gentry stock, described the brutal form
of combat he found in the Virginia backcountry shortly before the American
Revolution. Although historians are more likely to study people thinking, govern-

which rules are followed, what is at stake, what tactics are allowed-reveals much
about past cultures and societies.
The evolution of southern backwoods brawling from the late eighteenth century
through the antebellum era can be reconstructed from oral traditions and travelers'
accounts. As in most cultural history, broad patterns and uneven trends rather than
specific dates mark the way. The sources are often problematic and must be used
with care; some speculation is required. But the lives of common people cannot be
ignored merely because they leave few records. "To feel for a feller's eyestrings and

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.
