This is an interesting point of view & I agree with some points. However, in an essay, one must provide PROOF for the things you claim to be true. This is what I feel is missing. For example, you do not show us how there is a link between social media & violent behavior. Many people would disagree with you about this point. People don't even agree whether watching violent movies & TV shows actually bring on violent behavior in society.

If I were to write such an essay, I would focus on the things that are more easily observed by everyone (like how people on social media do not develop interactive skills & also the way a person addicted to media feels distracted if they cannot be in touch with their "drug"). And I would expand on these things, rather than trying to make this a list of many things, all mentioned superficially (without delving deeper & trying to really convince the reader).
