examples of Political Correctness

[Svetlana Malykhina]

I believe, for the purpose of research on linguistic phenomenon of political correctness, would be wise to step away from political discourse, and return to advertising discourse (for example).  Of course, all options can be considered, but deviation from the norms of PC in political discourse  is disputable as expressions or words can be used with a desire to win the opposition. Will it work if we exclude ideologically loaded (or two-valued) expressions to monitor instances of  PC (or lack of it) in less vague and ambiguous contexts, such as 
Советы молодым мама
Отдых на Кипре для богатых
Одежда для стройных
Требуются секретари-референты... Приглашаются девушки приятной наружности
Победило столичное "Динамо"
Новости из глубинки
Сумку со взрывчаткой оставили двое молодых людей славянской внешности
Would appreciate your comments
