    Unless you are alone on a desert island, you are part of some part of society/community. The communities interests are ultimately more important than your own. So with everyone working towards the community, everyone benefits.

    While in modern times, technology has expanded the communities to the n-th degree, leading to depersonalisation on the mass scale, which in itself, causes problems.

    In order to cope with this, rights have to be re-invented in a structural framework which all benefit from.

    The problem is though, who/how re-invents the rights. It's easier to protect rights when they are considered absolute then if we all agree that rights are simply something we all made up to make our lives better, that could lead to problems (when we are in war we must give up our right to criticize the government since we all know that the community will benefit more from a solid adherence to the war effort then if we let people undermine us from within and have those Japs/Germans/Soviets destroy us).
