"Man's Rights" discussed lots of individual rights and why people should have them. Two of those rights were the rights to property and action. The most concentrated right was the right to life. Also in this essay, Ayn Rand wrote about capitalism and how it is needed to uphold the law.
In the essay Collectivized "Rights", there was a certain key point that compared it to "Man's Rights". That point was the fact that most of the Collectivized "Rights" essay was based on "Man's Rights". Meaning that Ayn Rand based her rights of how society should be on the individual rights of man. For example, "just as a man needs a moral code in order to survive, so as society needs moral principles in order to organize a social system.
In my opinion there wasn't much contrast between the essays. I feel that way because the Collectivized "Rights" essay was based on individual rights. All in all, I found both essays interesting and I would like to read more of Ayn Rand's work.
