On the other hand

coherence and cohesion
The introduction lacks a clear restatement of the two views and a clear indication of the writer's opinion. It would be more effective to clearly outline the two different perspectives and the opinion in the introduction.
task achievement
The essay provides a decent response to the task by discussing both views and offering a clear opinion. However, the examples used to support the ideas could be more specific and relevant to strengthen the arguments.
