task achievement
You have presented a balanced view, discussing both sides of the argument and offering your own opinion, which is good for task achievement. However, to reach a higher band, ensure that your response directly addresses all parts of the task prompt throughout the essay, being sure to provide clear and relevant examples that directly support your main points. Avoid ambiguity in presenting your stance.
coherence cohesion
Your logical structure needs improvement. There are clear paragraphs which is good, but transitions between ideas could be smoother. Use a wider range of cohesive devices and topic sentences to make the progression of your argument more apparent. Also, work on concluding paragraphs so they effectively summarise the essay and restate your opinion.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
