An analysis of a sentence
Do you think that this sentence is good, correct, natural?
“ I don't see how arguing about it improves understandings although considering it increases awareness .”
Actually, I found lots of interesting, awkward things.
Such as, according to my informations;1-) What is “ how arguing about..” ?I would say “ how to argue about..”
2-) What is “although + considering” ?Maybe that’s true but gramatically “in spite of or despite + considering” is better
3-) What is “ about it improves understandings ” ? Is that possible to put a normal sentence after about ?
It’s so interesting
Thank you very much.

"understandings" is a little unnatural there. I will use "understanding" in my examples. The pattern "I don't see how ~" is used to question whether a statement is true.
