One essential characteristic of a typical utopian society is

Freedom of speech and independent thought.

Explanation:

Utopia is a state of affairs of a society where there is no judgement, no prejudice, where everything is ideal, just and everyone does what they love. The main idea of an "utopian" society is a equality for all. But this is just an idealized world and can't happen in the real world. Utopia is representative of a perfect world of politics, society, economy and religion wise.

Out of the many characteristics of an utopian society, one of it is the equality of all and freedom of speech and independent thought. This is impossible in the real world where people are harassed and tortured often for their personal beliefs and thoughts. This kind of world could exist only in the imaginary world.
