Kinda sounds like a sociologist's take on sin.
The long and short of it is that all sin is a personal offense against God Himself. All that societal mumbo jumbo is simply worldly concerns that don't matter. You could be a hermit in the wilderness and still commit sin.
Whether you profane His name and denounce Him, or you murder a bunch of people and defile a bunch of children, or even just cut yourself out of self-hatred, the offense is against God and His commandments. Yes, all these sins have secondary effects, causing problems for you, your family, society, etc. But these effects are not the sin itself. The sin itself is your free choice to defy God's will and grace in favor of your own will. That's what it means to be like unto God's, knowing what is good and evil - you usurp God's authority to determine right from wrong, and substitute your own morality.
Sin inflicts 2 kinds of debt and wounds on the sinner: spiritual and temporal. Spiritual debt is the irreparable offense to God which demands you die and be cast into oblivion. It is the infinite gulf that opens up between you and God the moment you turn away from Him. You cannot pay this debt because it is infinite and you are not. Christ pays it for you, because being God, Christ is infinite and can apply His infinite merit to the infinite debt. That is why you get to resurrect and live through Christ.
Temporal debt is the requirement for suffering for the sake of reparation and penance. It is through suffering that the effects of sin are cleaned from the soul. You can pay this debt now, or you can pay it later (purgatory). You can even pay it for others sake (including those in purgatory), or even pre-emptively in petition for graces. Either way, you're gonna pay it. The only time you get out of it is with a plenary indulgence, and that is only because it applies the sufferings and merits of Christ and the saints to your debt.
Wounds, on the other hand are direct consequences of sin. A spiritual wound is the scarring of the will, weakening its resistance to the temptations that it first fell to. If you commit the same sin over and over, the scar grows and it becomes harder and harder to resist the temptation and to repent of the sin, until it becomes habitual sin. The same concept applies to temporal wounds. If you're a glutton, you get fat and diabetic until you can't stop being fat because your organs and metabolism are destroyed and you've rewired your brain and gut to demand gluttony. You may repent of your gluttony, but the damage to your body is done, and it'll be easy for you to fall back into it.
Wounds have far reaching effects. Everyone bears the spiritual wound of The Fall - the inclination to reject God's will. Your particular wounds will affect everyone around you, which is where the concepts of generational and societal sin come into play.

You should worry more about what Jesus thinks.
